Secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism are common complications in patients with chronic kidney disease, especially in end stage renal disease. Surgery is an important method for the treatment of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The American Association of Endocrine Surgeons Guidelines for the Definitive Surgical Management of Secondary and Tertiary Renal Hyperparathyroidism is the first evidence based guideline focus on renal hyperparathyroidism surgical management. Recommendations using the best available evidence by a panel of 10 experts in secondary and tertiary renal hyperparathyroidism constructed this guideline, which provides evidence-based, individual and optimal surgical management of secondary and tertiary renal hyperparathyroidism. This paper made a guideline interpretation on the indications of surgery, imaging examination, preoperative and perioperative management, relevant evaluation and treatment during perioperative period, and intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring during operation, and so on.
