Normocalcemic versus Hypercalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism: More Stone than Bone? [PDF]
Introduction. Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) is considered a variant of the more frequent form of the disease characterized by normal serum calcium levels with high PTH.

Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is a new entity which possibly represents a fruste form of the classic clinically symptomatic disease and which has generated a considerable scientific interest in the last decade. Its official recognition is just as recent as in 2008, when an international conference took place for clarifying its nature and ...

Genetic aspects underlying the Normocalcemic and Hypercalcemic phenotypes of Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Hypercalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder that has been very well characterized. In contrast, many aspects of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) such as natural history, organ damage, and management are still matter of debate.

Osteoporosis and Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism (Conservatively or Surgically Managed). [PDF]
Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) involves 80–90% of the parathyroid tumor-associated cases of PHPT in the modern medical era, while normocalcemic PHPT (NPHPT) has a prevalence of 0.1–11%. We aimed to analyze the bone status and mineral metabolism in NPHPT amid conservative or surgical management.

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism. [PDF]
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common disorder of mineral metabolism characterized by incompletely regulated, excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone from one or more of the parathyroid glands. The historical view of this disease describes two distinct entities marked by two eras.

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism: a survey in a small village of Southern Italy. [PDF]
We investigated the prevalence of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) in the adult population living in a village in Southern Italy. All residents in 2010 (n=2045) were invited by calls and 1046 individuals accepted to participate. Medical history, calcium intake, calcium, albumin, creatinine, parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25OHD were ...

High Rate of Occult Urolithiasis in Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Introduction: Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) is characterized by elevations in serum parathyroid hormone levels in the presence of normal serum calcium concentrations after exclusion of secondary hyperparathyroidism. We have previously

Kidney Stone Risk in Normocalcemic Hyperparathyroidism before and after Parathyroid Surgery [PDF]
The higher risk for kidney stone in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is well-documented; stone risk in patients with normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) remains unclear.
