Background. Secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) is a common complication of chronic kidney disease. Increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) synthesis and secretion is associated with parathyroid cell hyperplasia. The exact mechanisms involved in parathyroid gland (PTG) hyperplasia are still poorly understood. There is no available data on angiogenesis in PTG of patients with chronic kidney disease and SHPT.
