Popis: BACKGROUND: Previous studies have demonstrated that (99m)Tc-sestamibi ((99m)Tc-MIBI) Single-Photon Emission Computed Tomography/ Computed Tomography (SPECT/CT) imaging is an effective isotopic technique for locating the parathyroid in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). This study aimed to explore further the correlation between (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT imaging and SHPT to demonstrate the value of (99m)Tc-MIBI SPECT/CT in evaluating the degree of pathological hyperplasia of the parathyroid gland (PG). METHODS: The demographics, surgical records, and follow-up information of 91 patients were recorded and analyzed. A total of 216 paraffin-embedded PGs of 54 patients were obtained and analyzed. RESULTS: Patients with (99m)Tc-MIBI negative PG(s) had significantly lower preoperative serum phosphorus and higher serum calcium levels at 6 months postoperatively compared to those with (99m)Tc-MIBI positive PG(s) (P
