Sagliker Syndrome: A case of Chronic Renal Failure with Uncontrolled Secondary Hyperparathyroidism

Abstract

Man, 55-year-old, developed Sagliker syndrome (SS) in the course of hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease from 2008, as a result of uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). His medical managements failed and he had no chance of kidney transplantation. Although surgical parathyroidectomy was rejected and the disease development could not be reversed, PTH began to decline and SS progressed slowly under the control of management and guidance in medication treatment. It is possible that such patients can survive with long-time dialysis, but the prevention of severe SHPT is critical.
