Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most common complications of chronic renal failure (CRF). Its pathogenesis is multifactorial and still not completely understood. Pathological mechanism of hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and calcitriol deficiency are basic characteristics of CRF and main reason for morphological changes in parathyroid glands and hyperparathyroidism (HP). We present a case of a female patient born in 1975. At the age of 10, a urinary infection was diagnosed for the first time and treated. Six years later, as nausea and vomiting started, CRF based on bilateral reflux was diagnosed and the patient was included in the hemodialysis treatment. The patient was again examined in 1997, when biochemical parameters, including the level of parathyroid hormone, ultrasonography of the neck, scintigraphy of the skeleton and densitometry revealed secondary HP. Parathyreoidectomy was perfomed in 1998. During the follow up period, a tumefaction on a ramus mandibulae dex. was noticed, which was cytologically diagnosed as osteitis fibrosa, "brown tumor", a rare complication of the secondary HP. Surgery was performed and PHD was granuloma gigantocelulare. Prevention and therapy of secondary HP is a problem that demands early actions to avoid possible complications.
