Do you recommend holding cinacalcet after kidney transplantation and monitoring PTH levels before restarting it?
If so, how long would you monitor PTH levels?
Answer from: at Academic Institution
Recommend to monitor calcium levels and resume cinacalcet if the patient has hypercalcemia. If the calcium level is normal, do not need to resume post-transplant. In addition, if the calcium level is 9 or below, would stop cinacalcet and monitor calcium levels.
