Abstract
Hungry bone syndrome is known to be developed due to extensive remineralization of skeleton after parathyroidectomy. It is characteristic of persistent hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia and often with tetany. Hyperparathyroidism is a common finding in pati- ents with chronic renal failure. In general, medical therapy of hyperparathyroidism is the control of hyperphosphatemia, adequate calcium intake and appropriate use of vitamin D. But, parathyroidectomy is considered in patients with clearly advancing hyperparathyroidism despite medical management. We report a case of hungry bone syndrome developed after parathyroidectomy in patient with long-term peritoneal dialysis.
