[Ultrasonic examination of the parathyroid glands, bone x-ray and calcium deposits of the eye in diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism in light of 12 observed cases].

Twelve patients with chronic renal failure treated with repeated dialysis underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy. Histologic examination revealed hyperplasia parathyroidal adenoma in all patients. Diagnostic correlation between bone X-ray, ultrasound of parathyroid glands, calcium deposits in cornea and conjunctiva, and histological findings has been analysed. Radiological abnormalities have been noted in 8 patients (66%), parathyroid glands hyperplasia in 9 (75%), and corneal and conjunctival calcium deposits in 10 (83%) patients. These data confirm the value of techniques under study for the diagnosis of the secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure.
