Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism

چکیده
Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism (NC-PHPT) is a clinical entity characterized by normal serum calcium and persistently elevated parathyroid (PTH) levels. These patients have no obvious causes for secondary hyperparathyroidism such as vitamin D deficiency and renal insufficiency [1,2-16,17]. None of the patients had clear evidence of gastrointestinal disease. Although the entity NC-PHPT is now well recognized it’s natural history and the course is not well known. Therefore our aim of the study was to evaluate the prevalence and the natural course of NCPHPT. To the best of our knowledge, the term normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism was first used by Wills, et. al [18]. Abstract

Introduction. Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) is considered a variant of the more frequent form of the disease characterized by normal serum calcium levels with high PTH. The higher prevalence of renal stones in patients with HPTP and the well established association with bone disorders show the importance of studies on how to manage asymptomatic patients. Objective. To compar...

Brown tumor is a bone lesion secondary to hyperparathyroidism of various etiologies. Skeletal involvement in primary hyperparathyroidism secondary to parathyroid adenoma is very uncommon and brown tumor has become extremely a rare clinical entity. Hyperparathyroidism is usually associated with high levels of serum calcium. Brown tumor as the only and initial symptom of normocalcemic primary hyp...
متن کاملNormocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism.
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 hyperparathyroidism, such as renal disease or vit...
