    Abstract Rationale & objective: Posttransplant hyperparathyroidism is common, and treatment practices are poorly characterized. The goal of this study was to examine the incidence, associations, and outcomes of posttransplant parathyroidectomy and calcimimetic use in a cohort of Medicare-insured US kidney transplant recipients.
    Study design: Retrospective observational cohort study.
    Setting & participants: We used the US Renal Data System to extract demographic, clinical, and prescription data from Medicare Parts A, B, and D-insured patients who received their first kidney transplant in 2007-2013. We excluded patients with pretransplant parathyroidectomy.
    Predictors: Calendar year of transplantation and pretransplant patient characteristics.
    Outcome: (1) Incidence of and secular trends in parathyroidectomy and cinacalcet use in the 3 years after transplant; (2) 90-day outcomes after posttransplant parathyroidectomy and cinacalcet initiation.
    Analytical approach: Temporal trends and pretransplant correlates of parathyroidectomy and cinacalcet use were assessed using proportional hazards models and multivariable Poisson regression, respectively.
    Results: The inclusion criteria were met by 30,127 patients, of whom 10,707 used cinacalcet before transplant, 551 underwent posttransplant parathyroidectomy, and 5,413 filled≥1 prescription for cinacalcet. The rate of posttransplant parathyroidectomy was stable over time. By contrast, cinacalcet use increased during the period studied. Long dialysis vintage and pretransplant cinacalcet use were strongly associated with posttransplant parathyroidectomy and cinacalcet use. Roughly 1 in 4 patients were hospitalized within 90 days of posttransplant parathyroidectomy, with hypocalcemia-related diagnoses being the most common complication. Parathyroidectomy (vs cinacalcet initiation) was not associated with an increase in acute kidney injury.
    Limitations: We lacked access to laboratory data to help assess the severity of secondary/tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The cohort was limited to Medicare beneficiaries.
    Conclusions: Almost one-fifth of our study cohort was treated with parathyroidectomy and/or cinacalcet. Further studies are needed to establish the optimal treatment for posttransplant hyperparathyroidism.

    Abstract Solid organ transplant recipients are at risk for infectious complications due to chronic immunosuppression. The outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States has raised growing concerns for the transplant patient population. We seek to add to the current limited literature on COVID-19 in transplant recipients by describing the clinical course of two kidney transplant recipients with SARS-CoV-2 infection monitored by both RT-PCR and serology. Through careful adjustment of their immunosuppression regimen, both patients had excellent recovery with intact graft function and development of anti-SARS-CoV-2 antibodies.

    Abstract Difficult behavior exhibited by dialysis patients is a spectrum that includes nonadherence, verbal or physical abuse, and threatening acts. Such behaviors may lead to harmful consequences to the patient, other patients, the facility, and staff and can culminate in involuntary discharge. It is important to recognize that these "difficult behaviors" may be due to underlying psychosocial or medical issues, which places an onus on care providers to explore further. According to the Conditions for Coverage (CfC) for dialysis facilities, it falls upon the medical director to coordinate and oversee policies for patient satisfaction, patient safety and rights, involuntary discharges, and adverse events and outcomes. Thus, medical directors are liable for their own actions, and their staff for which they have oversight, for harm or perceived harm to patients in response to difficult behaviors. Guidelines to deal with specific patient behavior scenarios have been published by the Decreasing Dialysis Patient Conflict National Task Force of the Forum of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) Networks. The common denominator for these difficult scenarios is impaired communication, and the majority of patient concerns involve issues with staff, policies, treatments, and diet. Involuntary discharge of a patient should always be viewed as a last resort, and there is a structured process described in the CfC that requires the involvement of the respective ESRD Network and the facility medical director. As physicians, we are bound by ethical and growing legal obligations to act in an appropriate, ethical, and fair manner to patients who are considered to be "difficult."

    Abstract The data on the outcomes of solid organ transplant recipients who have contracted coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) are still emerging. Kidney transplant recipients are commonly prescribed renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (AAS) inhibitors given the prevalence of hypertension, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. As the angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) facilitates the entry of coronaviruses into target cells, there have been hypotheses that preexisting use of renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system (RAAS) inhibitors may increase the risk of developing severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Given the common use of RAAS inhibitors among solid organ transplant recipients, we sought to review the RAAS cascade, the mechanism of SARS-CoV-2 entry, and pertinent data related to the effect of RAAS inhibitors on ACE2 to guide management of solid organ transplant recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic. At present, there is no clear evidence to support the discontinuation of RAAS inhibitors in solid organ transplant recipients during the COVID-19 pandemic.
