Do you recommend holding cinacalcet after kidney transplantation and monitoring PTH levels before restarting it?

If so, how long would you monitor PTH levels?

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.
