Description
João Pedro Bandovas and co-authors study in 2025 what happens to kidney function after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. In that condition, overactive parathyroid glands keep blood calcium high, which can bring kidney stones and a slow fall in filtering power. Removing the glands is the firm cure, yet its effect on the kidneys was unclear, above all in patients already impaired.
The team reviewed dozens of patients operated over several years, split by starting kidney function. Most were women, and surgery cured nearly all cases. Calcium and hormone levels fell in both groups a year later. Patients with better starting kidneys saw a clear dip in filtering rate, while the impaired group held steady or rose slightly. The authors read surgery as guarding against further loss rather than restoring kidney power.
