Efficacy and Safety of Ultrasonic Ablation to Treat Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Chronic Kidney Disease Patients

sHPT patients with enlarged glands (≥3)will be randomized into parathyroidectomy group or ultrasonic ablation group. Patients in parathyroidectomy will get parathyroid surgery.

CKD patients suffered from sHPT with 1-3 enlarged gland(s) and without indication of parathyroidectomy will be randomized to oral medicine therapy group or ultrasonic ablation therapy group. Patients in oral medicine group will be treated by active vitamin D and other general treatments, such as dietary phosphate restriction and phosphate binders, according to the suggestions in KDIGO guidelines.

CKD-sHPT patients with enlarged parathyroid gland(s) randomized into the ultrasonic ablation group will be treated by ultrasound guided percutaneous parathyroid gland radio frequence ablation. According to the indications of parathyroid surgery, the patients will be divided into two sub-groups. The outcomes of these patients will be compared to the oral medicine group and the parathyroidectomy group, respectively.
