Objective To analyze the factors influencing the hungry bone syndrome (HBS) in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) after parathyroidectomy. Methods The clinical data of patients who underwent parathyroidectomy for SHPT in the 900th Hospital of the Joint Logistics Support Force from January 2016 to May 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. The risk factors for HBS were analyzed by binary logistic regression analysis. The cut-off value of risk factors for predicting postoperative HBS was analyzed by using recieve operating characteristic (ROC) curve. Results A total of 89 patients were included in this study, including 44 males and 45 females, with (47±11) years old. There were 42 (47.2%) patients with HBS. Compared with the patients without HBS, the patients with HBS was younger and had higher levels of preoperative parathyroid hormone, potassium, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP), the differences were statistically different (P<0.05). The multivariate binary logistic regression analysis showed that the higher preoperative ALP level was a risk factor for the HBS [OR (95%CI) = 1.014 (1.007, 1.020), P<0.001]. The area under the ROC curve (95%CI) of the preoperative ALP level in distinguishing the patients with HBS from without HBS was 0.957 (0.919, 0.996), and the optimal cut-off value of ALP for predicting postoperative HBS was 278.90 U/L. Conclusions From the preliminary results of this study, it can be concluded that bone conversion status can be differentiated according to preoperative ALP level in patients with SHPT. When preoperative ALP level is higher than cut-off value, it is recommended that calcium supplementation should be given as soon as possible and blood calcium level should be closely monitored.
