Quality of life after parathyroid surgery for kidney failure
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This study looks at how your quality of life changes after surgery to remove overactive parathyroid glands, which can happen when you have advanced kidney disease. The goal is to understand if this surgery helps people feel better.

This study looks at how completely removing the thyroid gland affects the nearby parathyroid glands (which control calcium) and your overall quality of life. If you're having a total thyroid removal and meet a few health conditions, you may be able to join.
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.
