Background

Previously, we showed that ultrasound-guided percutaneous radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can treat refractory SHPT(Zhang et al Kidney Int Rep). In this study, we compared Short- and Long-Term efficacy of two methods in SHPT management.

Methods

A retrospective analysis was conducted between 2015 and 2022. The preoperative and postoperative changes in iPTH, Ca, and P levels were collected, and the recurrence rate was analyzed.

Results

A total of 144 patients were included, with 109 undergoing RFA and 35 undergoing PTX. The median follow-up was 40.8 months (IQR 28.5–57.6). The incidence of hypocalcemia was significantly lower in the RFA group compared to the PTX group (33.9% vs. 54.3%, p < 0.05). There were no significant difference between the two groups (p > 0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis revealed that postoperative iPTH level was an independent risk factor for recurrence (OR = 1.002, 95% CI: 1.000–1.003, p = 0.01).

Conclusion

Both RFA and PTX significantly reduce serum Ca, P, and iPTH levels in patients with SHPT with no significant difference in recurrence rates.
