A member asked:
Is only having 1 kidney reason enough to have hyperparathyroid surgery?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: One serious complication of hyperparathyroidism is kidney failure. Someone with only one kidney would be particularly at risk for this. In general, surgery for hyperparathyroidism is now recommended for anyone without strong reasons not to have surgery.
