Popis: Background: The hungry bone syndrome (HBS) is a well described phenomenon occurring shortly after parathyroidectomy characterized by rapid bone formation with concomitant hypocalcemia, hypophosphatemia and hypomagnesemia requiring intensive management. Recurrent HBS occurring in isolation from parathyroidectomy has not been reported.Case presentation: We describe a case of recurrent HBS in a kidney transplant recipient (KTR) developing years after parathyroidectomy. The KTR was a 49 year-old lady who had undergone successful total parathyroidectomy without re-implantation 14 years prior and cadaveric kidney transplantation 12 years prior. She had a stable creatinine level of 220μmol/L and an estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of 20 mL/min-1.73m2. She presented to us with severe hypercalcemia, likely a result of excessive calcium and vitamin D supplementation, and acute kidney injury. Serum creatinine, calcium, phosphate, magnesium, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), and intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels on admission were 743μmol/L, 4.8 mmol/L, 1.8 mmol/L, 0.75 mmol/L, 48IU/L and
