Brief Summary

This study evaluates the metabolic and clinical results of two well recognized and accepted surgical techniques in the management of severe hyperparathyroidism in patients under regular dialysis treatment.

Detailed Description

Prospective randomized trial in the surgical management of severe hyperparathyroidism of chronic kidney disease stage V under dialysis. Patients will be randomized and they will be submitted to subtotal parathyroidectomy or total parathyroidectomy with immediate heterotopic autograft of 45 or 90 fragments of parathyroid tissue.

GroupInterventionDescription
Subtotal ParathyroidectomySubtotal ParathyroidectomyPatients will be submitted to subtotal parathyroidectomy. The intention is to leave a parathyroid remanent equivalent to two normal parathyroid glands in situ. The type of the operation is the intervention. No drugs or devices are tested.
Total Parathyroidectomy + 45 autograftsTotal Parathyroidectomy + 45 autograftsPatients will be submitted to a total parathyroidectomy and 45 fragments of parathyroid tissue are grafted in the forearm. This is the current standard treatment at the institution for severe secondary hyperparathyroidism.The type of operation is the intervention itself. No new device or drug is involved.
Total Parathyroidectomy + 90 autograftsTotal Parathyroidectomy + 90 autograftsPatients will be submitted to a total parathyroidectomy and 90 fragments of parathyroid tissue are grafted in the forearm. The type of operation is the intervention. No new device or drug is involved. .
Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
SurvivalFrom the time of the operation until 5 years after intervention or death if it occurs before 5 years of follow up

Five years survival after parathyroidectomy in an intention to treat analysis

Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Metabolic Outcome 1: Serum Calcium (mg/dL)1 to 60 months after intervention, Samples are taken according to regular follow up

postoperative calcium levels. Below, Above or in the normal range for the method. Analysis will include samples taken close to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the operation.

Drug Requirement 4: Calcimimetics (mg/day)1 to 60 months after intervention, according to the dose prescibed in different periods

The amount of Calcimimetics, in special Cinacalcet im milligrams per day prescribed after the intervention. Analysis will include 1, 3, 6, 12, 24,36, 48, 60 months after the intervention.

Metabolic Outcome 2 : Serum Phosphorus (mg/dL)1 to 60 months after intervention, Samples are taken according to regular follow up

postoperative phosphorus levels. Below, above or the normal range for the method employed. Analysis will include samples taken close to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the operation.

Metabolic Outcome 4: Serum Parathormone (pg/mL)1 to 60 months after intervention, Samples are taken according to regular follow up

postoperative parathormone levels. Below, Above or in the target levels proposed by the National Kidney Foundation, and by the Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO). Analysis will include samples taken close to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the operation.

Metabolic Outcome 3: Serum Alkaline Phosphatase (IU)1 to 60 months after intervention, Samples are taken according to regular follow up

postoperative alkaline phosphatase levels. Above or in the normal range, according to the method in use. Analysis will include samples taken close to 1, 3, 6, 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the operation.

Drug Requirement 3: Sevelamer (mg/day)1 to 60 months after intervention, according to the dose prescibed in different periods

The quantity of phosphorus binding drugs, in special Sevelamer prescribed in milligrams after the intervention. Analysis will include 1, 3, 6, 12, 24,36, 48, 60 months after the operation.

Drug Requirement 2 Calcitriol intake (micrograms/day)1 to 60 months after intervention, according to the dose prescibed in different periods

calcitriol or other vitamin D analogue intake (in micrograms per day) after the intervention. Analysis will include first week, then 1, 3, 6, 12, 24,36, 48, 60 months after the intervention.

Clinical Outcome 1: Bone Pain in the VASPre-operative (up to one week before the procedure) until 60 months after intervention

Bone pain measured by the Visual Analogic Pain Scale up to one week before the intervention and up to one week after the procedure, and then at regular follow up. Analysis will concentrate on preoperative (up to one week before), postoperative up to one week, 6,12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months after the intervention.

Clinical Outcome 3: Quality of Life in the SF-36 QuestionnairePreoperative (up to three days before the intervention) and until 60 months after intervention

quality of life up to one week before the intervention and after the operation at one week, 6 , 12, 24, 36, 48 and 60 months, measured by the Short form 36 questionnaire (SF-36) validated to the cultural and language of the country.

Clinical Outcome 4: Additional Operation (Reoperation in Recurrent/Persistent Disease)1 to 60 months after intervention

the necessity of reoperative procedures due to recurrence or persistence of severe hyperparathyroidism, as defined by the attending physician during regular follow up

Drug Requirement 1: Elemental Calcium Intake (g/day)1 to 60 months after intervention, according to the dose prescibed in different periods.

The calcium supplement intake (in grams of elemental calcium per day) of the patients after the intervention. Analysis will include first week, then 1, 3, 6, 12, 24,36, 48, 60 months after the intervention.

Clinical Outcome 2: Postoperative Skeletal Disease (Fractures/Brown tumor)1 to 60 months after intervention

Morbidity of the surgical proceduresintra-operative to 60 months

After any interventions (initial operation or reoperative interventions necessary in the follow up), it will be actively searched for the occurrence of dysphonia (and its cause according to laryngoscopy), wound infection (clinical signs as red skin, pain, secretion, fever and laboratory evidence), and neck haematoma (large neck blood clots requiring operation)
