OBJECTIVE
To provide an up-to-date review of primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) as a complication of pregnancy.
METHODS
We discuss the initial manifestations of primary HPT in pregnant patients, the diagnosis, the differential diagnosis of hypercalcemia, and the recommended treatment
Psychiatric symptoms are well recognized as a feature of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. We have applied a standardized psychiatric interview to 15 patients before and after surgery. Thirteen had a lower 'psychiatric score' (less psychiatric morbidity) after surgery and improvements were
In the present paper, we report a female patient with multiple cystic lesions of bone arising from the primary hyperparathyroidism and pathological femur and contralateral tibia fractures at the level of these cystic lesions (osteitis fibrosa cystica). The patient's history revealed that she was
We report the association of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and Klinefelter's syndrome (KS) in a 22-year-old male complaining of worsening fatigue. PHPT was asymptomatic at the diagnosis, but the patient had worsening hypercalcemia and osteoporosis, and developed acute renal colic. He then
Over the last 25 years, the perceived clinical spectrum of primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) has changed dramatically from a disorder characterized by severe bone and renal disease to one typically manifested by few or mild symptoms and little evidence of organ damage. Reasons for this change in
Several recent articles question whether patients with asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism and minimal hypercalcemia should be treated by parathyroidectomy. We therefore reviewed our experience in 103 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who were treated by parathyroidectomy to
Hyperparathyroidism is generally classified into a primary and secondary form. The primary form is caused by an autonomous adenomatous hypertrophy and/or hyperplasia of parythyroideal glands without known cause in most of the patients. Resulting elevated levels of parathyroid hormone cause elevation
A 50-year-old man presented with knee pain and general fatigue and was found to have severe hypercalcemia and renal failure. Hyperparathyroidism was suspected by hypercalcemia and a nodular lesion of the thyroid gland with CT-scan of the patient's neck. Exploration of the neck disclosed two slightly
OBJECTIVE
Neck exploration for hyperparathyroidism is sometimes withheld from elderly patients out of concern for the risks. The question whether this concern is founded in fact was examined in a consecutive series of 18 patients aged 70 years or older who were operated for primary
BACKGROUND
Hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant multiple tumor syndrome characterized by hyperparathyroidism due to single or multiple-gland parathyroid tumor(s). Since it was first described in 1990, the genetics underlying the syndrome have been elucidated
Background. Primary hyperparathyroidism in childhood is a very rare entity, often being diagnosed late after the onset of its presenting symptoms. It most commonly affects patients in their fourth decade of life and beyond. The inclusion of primary hyperparathyroidism in the differential diagnosis
A 46 year-old female patient presented to the hospital with ongoing and progressively increasing fatigue, severe nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, constipation, palpitations and somnolence. Laboratory evaluation revealed a severe hypercalcaemia and overt hyperthyroidism. She was diagnosed with
Primary hyperparathyroidism, characterized by hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) leading to hypercalcemia and relative hypophosphatemia, is quite common in the elderly. Most patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have only mild hypercalcemia and are symptomless. But others experience
OBJECTIVE
To report a case of calciphylaxis in a patient with primary hyperparathyroidism without coexistent renal failure.
METHODS
The clinical, laboratory, and radiographic details of this case are reviewed, and the pathogenesis of calciphylaxis and the associated prognosis are
BACKGROUND
There is limited information on respiratory muscle functions in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
OBJECTIVE
To assess respiratory muscle dysfunction in patients with PHPT.
METHODS
This prospective study was carried between January 2005 and December 2006 by the Department
