Asymptomatic Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Misnomer [PDF]
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder marked by elevated secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which results in hypercalcemia and may cause complications in the kidneys and bones.

We describe here the case of an elderly female with severe osteoporosis, who presented with a worsening backache, following teriparatide treatment. She was subsequently diagnosed to have normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism.

Bone Mineral Density and First Line Imaging with [18F]fluorocholine PET/CT in Normocalcemic and Hypercalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Results from a Single Center [PDF]
Objectives: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with normal or elevated calcium levels and affects bone mineral density. The proportion of cases predisposed to metabolic bone disease is unknown in patients with PHPT.

Influence of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism in bone density alterations of the jaws in patients with periodontitis. [PDF]
Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) is a complex syndrome that causes excess secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from the parathyroid glands.

Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism is not innocent as it sounds
INTRODUCTION: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia. A group of patients who were admitted with PHPT and had normal calcium levels with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels was defined as normocalcemic PHPT (NPHPT).

An unusual case report: normocalcemic markers and their relationship with multiple sclerosis in primary hyperparathyroidism disease revealed by radiological markers with the diagnosis of brown tumor [PDF]
Background Brown tumor is a giant cell focal bone lesion associated with hyperparathyroidism and is more common in long bones such as the femur, ribs, pelvis, and clavicle, rather than in the head and neck region.

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is an early stage of primary hyperparathyroidism according to fibroblast growth factor 23 level [PDF]
IntroductionNormocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is a variant of primary hyperparathyroidism with consistently normal albumin-adjusted or free-ionized calcium levels. It may be an early stage of classic primary hyperparathyroidism or could represent

Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Over the past two decades, normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) has emerged as a new subset of primary hyperparathyroidism which, after exclusion of secondary hyperparathyroidism, is characterized by consistent normocalcemia with elevated parathyroid hormone levels.

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism. [PDF]
Primary hyperparathyroidism, a common endocrine disorder, is traditionally defined by hypercalcemia and elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH). A newer presentation of primary hyperparathyroidism has been described over the past decade, in which PTH is elevated but serum calcium is consistently normal, in the absence of secondary causes of ...

The effects of season (spring versus autumn) on diagnosis of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
BackgroundRaised parathormone (PTH) and normal calcium concentrations can be observed both in normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (nPHPT) and in secondary hyperparathyroidism, e.g. due to vitamin D deficiency.
