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.
