Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism; a mini-review
Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHT) is a subtype of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) characterized by elevated levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) within the normal range of serum calcium. In traditional PHPT, high serum calcium levels are typically seen, whereas in normocalcemic PHPT, calcium levels are within the normal range.

Improving Glucose Homeostasis after Parathyroidectomy for Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism with Co-Existing Prediabetes. [PDF]
We have previously described increased fasting plasma glucose levels in patients with normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) and co-existing prediabetes, compared to prediabetes per se. This study evaluated the effect of parathyroidectomy (PTx)

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.

Paget’s Disease of Bone and Normocalcemic Variant of Primary Hyperparathyroidism in an Osteoporotic Male: Exceptional Coexistence [PDF]
Background and clinical significance: Paget’s disease of bone involves anomalies of the bone metabolism; however, the presence of tumor-derivate abnormal parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels does not represent one of these disturbances. To our best knowledge,

Kidney Stone Risk in Normocalcemic Hyperparathyroidism before and after Parathyroid Surgery
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.

First Case of a Biochemically Normal Intrathyroidal Parathyroid Carcinoma: Case Report and Literature Review. [PDF]
Ultrasound images of an intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma. ABSTRACT Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare and aggressive endocrine malignancy. Rarer still is PC presenting in an intrathyroidal location. We report the first case of a biochemically normal intrathyroidal parathyroid carcinoma and review the literature on this rare clinical entity.

Approach to the Patient: Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Abstract Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT), a phenotype of primary hyperparathyroidism, is characterized by elevated parathyroid hormone levels in the setting of persistently normal serum calcium. Diagnosis of NPHPT can be challenging and requires that secondary causes of hyperparathyroidism be excluded.
