Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is a frequent complication in chronic kidney disease and may persist in 20%-50% of cases 1 year after kidney transplantation (KT). HPT contributes to long-term allograft dysfunction and increased risk of fractures. There is scant data on the prevalence of HPT in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs) in Saudi Arabia. The aim of this study is to evaluate the prevalence of this complication and to identify its risk factors in a single center in Saudi Arabia.
