NCT ID NCT07415421
First seen Feb 19, 2026 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 14 times
Summary
This study compares surgery to remove most of the parathyroid glands with standard monitoring in kidney transplant patients who still have high calcium levels. Researchers want to see if surgery improves bone density, physical function, and quality of life over 12 months. The trial will enroll 85 adults who are at least 6 months past their kidney transplant.

What this could mean
Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.
Active substance
Subtotal parathyroidectomy (surgical removal of most parathyroid glands)
What this could lead to
If surgery proves better than monitoring, it could become a standard option to improve bone health and daily well-being in kidney transplant recipients.
What could go wrong
This is a small pilot study with only 85 participants, so results may not apply to everyone. Surgery carries risks like infection or low calcium levels, and the benefit over monitoring is not yet proven.
