Effect of parathyroid hormone levels on carotid intima–media thickness after renal transplantation

Background: The present study aimed to investigate the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH)–dependent evolution of common carotid intima–media thickness (CC IMT) in renal transplant recipients (RTR) within a 12-month follow-up, ie, before (E0) and 3 months (E3), 6 months (E6), and 12 months after renal...

Summary:Background: The present study aimed to investigate the intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH)–dependent evolution of common carotid intima–media thickness (CC IMT) in renal transplant recipients (RTR) within a 12-month follow-up, ie, before (E0) and 3 months (E3), 6 months (E6), and 12 months after renal transplantation (RTX). Methods: A total of 55 normotensive patients, aged 47 ± 1.7 years, underwent a RTX. The graft function was stable (clearance Cockroft >60 mL/min and S-creatinine
