简介
Sagliker syndrome (SS) is a rare complication in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) on prolonged dialysis due to uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). SS manifests with a constellation of clinical manifestations, including short stature, craniomaxillofacial abnormalities, hearing loss, and neuropsychiatric disorders. This article reports a 33-year-old male patient with CKD who complained of progressive disfiguring facial changes, multiple recurrent fractures, and shortened height. The condition affects his quality of life. On workup, his lab results showed highly elevated serum levels of parathyroid hormone, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), calcium, and phosphate. His comorbidities and poor health status limit his ability to do parathyroidectomy (Ptx). A reliable diagnostic approach must be considered, enabling physicians to make earlier interventions and get better outcomes.
