Beyond the Gland: How Parathyroidectomy Enhances Cardiovascular Health in Dialysis-Independent End-Stage Renal Disease Patients

Key Points

• This research investigates the impact of parathyroidectomy on cardiovascular health in dialysis-independent end-stage renal disease patients.
• Compared cardiovascular events in patients undergoing parathyroidectomy with those receiving cinacalcet.
• Evaluated the long-term outcomes of surgical versus medical management for hyperparathyroidism.
• Parathyroidectomy led to a significant reduction in cardiovascular events.
• Surgical treatment showed greater benefits over cinacalcet in terms of long-term cardiovascular health.
