Early persistent hyperparathyroidism post-renal transplantation as a predictor of worse graft function and mortality after transplantation.

pHPT three months post-renal transplantation is an independent predictor for a worse allograft function up to 3 years post-transplant and a risk factor for mortality. This relationship remains statistically significant after accounting for baseline allograft function, presence of SGF and serum mineral levels abnormalities.
