Background
Hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a frequent event after parathyroidectomy (PTx). While risk factors for HBS are well known in primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), it is unclear whether these risk factors are similar in secondary or tertiary HPT.
Methods
We retrospectively analyzed the risk factors for HBS of a single-center cohort of 68 dialysis patients who underwent PTx. We defined HBS as persistent hypocalcemia (corrected calcium <7.5 mg/dL) lasting >3 days -with or without hypophosphatemia- requiring extended hospital stay for intravenous calcium supplementation. All patients were followed up for one year.
Results
HBS occurred in 36 (53%) patients. In the bivariate analysis, a higher preoperative intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) (1984±777 vs. 940±581 pg/mL; p<0.001), a higher alkaline phosphatase (ALP) (706 [322-1155] vs. 132 [108-233] IU/L; p<0.001), and older dialysis vintage (4 [3-4] vs. 6 [4-11] years; p=0.049) independently predicted the development of HBS. Peritoneal dialysis (PD) treatment protected against HBS (68% Non-HBS vs. 47% HBS were on PD; p=0.02). Age, weight, preoperative phosphorus, and type of surgery did not predict HBS occurrence. Calcitriol prophylaxis for >2 days, prescribed in 91% of patients with HBS, was not effective to prevent HBS (median dose of 1.25 mcg/day [IQR 0.75-2.25]). When a multivariate analysis was performed only iPTH and ALP remained as predictors of HBS.
During the year of follow-up, 4 (6%) patients died and 21 (31%) received a kidney transplant. At one year, patients who had HBS needed higher doses of calcium prescription (CaCO3 6.8 gr/day [IQR 4.5-14.8] vs. 1.5 gr/day [IQR 0-3.0]) and calcitriol (0.75 mcg/day [IQR 0.5-1.5] vs. 0.25 mcg/day [IQR 0-0.75].
Conclusion
HBS was a common complication after PTx and closely related to severity of HPT. At one year of follow up it was associated with continued prescription of higher doses of calcium and calcitriol. Consequences of this prolonged exposure to calcium and calcitriol could have deleterious systemic/vascular complications. Preoperative prophylactic calcitriol, prescribed in 91% of those who later developed HBS, was ineffective in preventing the appearance of this syndrome.
