Clinical evaluation of bone-densitometry in patients with final renal insufficiency operated for hyperparathyroidism.

Because of difficulties in evaluating bone mineral mass with conventional methods in patients with final renal insufficiency before and after parathyroidectomy, bone densitometry has been tried. During a three year period ten patients have been selected for surgery. The parathyroidectomy performed was total in nine patients and subtotal in one. Bone mineral mass was significantly lower preoperatively in the operated patients than in other patients on regular hemodialysis and also lower than in a normal material. In four of ten patients there was a transient decrease in bone mineral mass after parathyroidectomy. Thereafter there was a significant increase in five of ten patients and in the whole group of patients. Thus bone densitometry was found to be of value in following patients with renal insufficiency selected for parathyroidectomy.

Blood transfusion and kidney transplantation.

During the years 1968--1976, 115 nondiabetic primary cadaveric transplantations were performed in southern Sweden. For 95 of these patients there was an observation period of at least one year. 32% of these patients had never received a blood transfusion. These recipients had an lower one year graft survival (33%) than those who had received one or more transfusions (48%). Patients who had received more than five transfusions did not show a higher graft survival than other transfused kidney recipients. Presence of cytotoxic antibodies also decreased the one year graft survival both in the transfused and not transfused patient groups.
