FERNANDEZ, L; BLANCO, A; BUSTAMANTE, M  and  BENCHIMOL, J. Asimetría en el Hiperparatiroidismo Secundario Renal. Una revisión Teórico Analítica. RFM [online]. 2000, vol.23, n.2, pp.126-130. ISSN 0798-0469.

The hyperparathyroidism asymmetry in the chronic kidney failure is not very frequent and few studies have been reported in this subject. Some authors attribute this to the inactivation of the tumoral supressor gene from the chromosome 11, activation of oncogenes, modification of calcium receptors and other "trofic" factors. A trial of archives of the service of pathology of the Miguel Pérez Carreño hospital, Caracas-Venezuela, during the years, 1994 to 1998, was made and two cases of this pathology were found among the 21000 general biopsias reviewed. A theoretic-analytic review is made to emphasize the actual expositions in this matter.
