Abstract
Chronic kidney failure is much more common than people realize, and often goes undetected and undiagnosed until the disease is well advanced and kidney failure is fairly imminent. As the kidney function decreases it affects many other systems of the body mainly the calcium phosphorous metabolism as the metabolism is mainly controlled by kidney in terms of absorption and reabsorption of calcium phosphorus. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is usually found in patients with kidney failure and involves all four parathyroid glands. The kidney problems trigger the parathyroid glands into making excess parathyroid hormone (PTH). Here we have reconfirmed the findings and evidence of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic kidney disease patient.
