Compare two parathyroid surgeries for severe kidney-related hormone imbalance
Part of Hormones & metabolism clinical trials.
This trial compares two surgical approaches for severe secondary hyperparathyroidism caused by kidney disease: removing all parathyroid tissue alone versus removing it and moving some tissue back into the body. The study aims to see which approach works better and is safer for controlling the hormone problem.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial compares two ways to treat primary hyperparathyroidism: a minimally invasive procedure (thermal ablation) that uses heat to destroy the overactive gland, versus surgery to remove it. The goal is to see which approach better manages symptoms and prevents complications.
This trial looks at whether removing overactive parathyroid glands (parathyroidectomy) can help people who still have high calcium or low phosphate levels more than 6 months after a kidney transplant. If you have stable kidney function and meet certain blood test results, you may be able to join.
This trial compares two treatments for secondary hyperparathyroidism, a condition where the parathyroid glands make too much hormone, causing bone and muscle problems. It tests whether a needle-based heat treatment (thermal ablation) works as well as surgery to remove the glands, aiming to reduce hormone levels and improve symptoms.
This study looks at how patients' quality of life changed after they had parathyroidectomy (surgery to remove parathyroid glands) for secondary hyperparathyroidism related to end-stage kidney disease. The goal is to understand the benefits of this surgery for future patients.
This trial tests a parathyroid gland transplant for people with severe, long-term low calcium levels after thyroid removal. It aims to help those who still have symptoms despite high-dose calcium and vitamin D supplements.
This trial tests whether a donated parathyroid gland can help people with low parathyroid hormone (hypoparathyroidism) control their calcium levels and reduce symptoms. Participants will receive transplant and short-term immune-suppressing drugs.
