Primary Hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Endocrine Practice, 1989 Abstract Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disease characterized by excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone from one or more of the four parathyroid glands. In most patients, a single, benign adenoma is responsible for the disease, but in a small percentage of subjects, four-gland hyperplasia is evident.

Primary hyperparathyroidism [PDF]
Turkish Journal of Surgery, 2016 Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder caused by overactivation of parathyroid glands resulting in excessive release of parathyroid hormone. The resultant hypercalcemia leads to a myriad of symptoms. Primary hyperparathyroidism may increase a patient's morbidity and even mortality if left untreated.

Clinical Case Reports, 2019 Key Clinical MessageWe report a case of hyperparathyroidism with hypercalcemia caused by a giant parathyroid adenoma. We use a technetium sestamibi scan to locate parathyroid mass. Bone emission computed tomography revealed the classic signs of metabolic osteopathy. She was recovered after parathyroidectomy.

New England Journal of Medicine, 2018 Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), the most common cause of hypercalcemia, is most often identified in postmenopausal women with hypercalcemia and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels that are either frankly elevated or inappropriately normal. The clinical presentation of PHPT includes three phenotypes: target organ involvement of the renal and skeletal ...

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism
Archives of Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2022 Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a newer phenotype of PHPT defined by elevated PTH concentrations in the setting of normal serum calcium levels. It is increasingly being diagnosed in the setting of evaluation for nephrolithiasis or metabolic bone diseases.

Biochemistry in Symptomatic and Asymptomatic Primary Hyperparathyroidism: A Cross-Sectional Study
Revista Mexicana de Endocrinología, Metabolismo y Nutrición, 2021 Background: PHPT can be symptomatic or asymptomatic, according to the presence of classic symptoms (skeletal or renal involvement), without conclusive evidence of its relation to biochemical parameters.
