Background/aim: Prolonged hypercalcemia impairs renal function, and a reduced glomerular filtration rate (GFR) is typical in advanced primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). There are scarce data related to predictors of renal impairment in patients with PHPT. Hence, we aimed to evaluate changes in kidney function in PHPT patients after parathyroidectomy (PTX) and identify factors associated with GFR variation in these patients.Materials and methods: One hundred and twenty-five patients with PHPT who underwent surgery between 2012 and 2014 were enrolled in the study. Patients were divided into two groups according to GFR values: patients whose GFR was lower than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 and higher than 60 mL/min/1.73 m2. Demographic and laboratory parameters were compared before and 6 months after parathyroidectomy.Results: Prevalence of antihypertensive drug users and patients with renal cysts and parathormone (PTH) and alkaline phosphatase levels were higher in patients with GFR of ≥60 than in GFR of
