Is minimally invasive parathyroid surgery an option for patients with gestational primary hyperparathyroidism?
BACKGROUND Gestational primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with serious maternal and neonatal complications, which require prompt surgical treatment. Minimally invasive parathyroidectomy reduces pain, improves cosmesis and may achieve cure rates comparable to traditional open bilateral neck exploration. We report the clinical course of a woman with newly diagnosed gestational primary hype...
متن کاملParathyroid calcification as a complication of secondary hyperparathyroidism.

متن کاملIntensification of Anemia by Secondary Hyperparathyroidism in Hemodialysis Patients
The excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone in secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPTH) is suggested to interfere with normal erythropoiesis. In SHPTH, during chronic renal failure, due to the impairment of erythropoietin synthesis, this effect is more pronounced. In the present study the role of secondary hyperparathyroidism in the severity of anemia was evaluated in hemodialysis patients (n=3...
متن کاملThe correlation of heart rate variability with parathyroid hormone in hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism
Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism (HPTH) which is often found in end stage of chronic renal disease patients replaced by hemodialysis (HD) may cause the cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Method: Healthy subjects and HD patients categorized into two groups by parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels: high PTH group (H-PTH; PTH = 150 300 pg/mL) and ultra high PTH group (UH-PTH; PTH > 300 pg/mL) were investig...
متن کاملRelationship between parathyroid gland size and responsiveness to maxacalcitol therapy in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND Although vitamin D has been reported to be useful in the treatment of patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, it is not effective in some of them. The goal of this study was to see whether a relationship could be found between maxacalcitol responsiveness and parathyroid gland size. METHODS Parathyroid gland size was measured by ultrasonography in 25 patients with secondary hyp...
