Objective: to establish the frequency of secondary hyperparathyroidism on renal replacement therapy patients on the nephrology service of southeast Para (Brazil).
Methods: retrospective cross-sectional survey based on available electronic medical records data referring to the first semester of 2014.
Results: data from 108 patients with an average age of 47.8 ± 12.0 years (20-65) were analyzed, 64 patients (59.3%) were male. The frequency of secondary hyperparathyroidism was 57.4%, corresponding to a total of 62 patients with parathyroid hormone above 300 pg/ml. Parathyroid hormone levels greater than 1000 pg/ml were found in 12.0% (n=13) of the sample.
Conclusion: the occurrence of secondary hyperparathyroidism was similar to other retrospective studies published. This data collection can contribute to improve the assistance program for dialysis patients.
