Resolution of Hyperparathyroidism, Renal Osteodystrophy and Metastatic Calcification after Renal Homotransplantation

Abstract
In 17 patients followed for an average of 18 months after renal homotransplantation, mean phosphate clearance was 18 ml per minute, tubular reabsorption of phosphate 60 per cent, and creatinine clearance 58 ml per minute. Calcium infusion tests performed in six were abnormal in all but one. Bone disease present in five patients improved or resolved in the post-transplant period.
