Background: Parathyroid hormone is known as one of the main uremic toxicants, which, if amount increases in plasma, will affect motor conduction patients with chronic kidney disease. This study aims to determine relationship between levels neuropathy disease.
 Methods: was an analytic observational a cross-sectional approach, where many 42 subjects participated this study. Data analysis pe...

An audit has been performed of the value of parathyroid hormone assays and thallium-technetium isotope scanning in the pre-operative investigation of 67 hypercalcaemic patients referred for surgery over a 5 year period. Parathyroid hormone assay by region-specific technique was found to have a diagnostic sensitivity of75% (n = 52) whilst the more recent assay for the intact molecule was 97% sen...

Parathyroid crisis, also known as a parathyroid storm, is a rare and serious complication of primary hyperparathyroidism. Four cases are reported here in which patients presented to hospital with general complaints due to hypercalcemia secondary to hyperparathyroidism. Blood test results upon admission showed high levels of serum calcium and parathyroid hormone, and medical treatment initiated ...

A two-phase system in vitro has been developed for studying the bone-mobilizing effects of parathyroid hormone. Phase I consists of the incubation of hormone with ascites cells, and Phase II is the incubation of Phase I supernatant with dead bone powder. The mobilization of labeled calcium from this powder is the index of hormonal activity. The response to hormone is apparent at lo-* M hormone,...

We report a case of 66-year-old female, who presented with features hypercalcemia and developed acute kidney injury (AKI). Parathyroid hormone level was raised up to 740 pg/ml. Ultrasound sestamibi scan suggested presence right sided parathyroid adenoma. A decision parathyroidectomy taken. The sample that sent for frozen section showed only thyroid tissue. No macroscopically visible or palpable...

A case is described of primary hyperparathyroidism in a patient with both a parathyroid cyst within the thymus gland and a concomitant parathyroid adenoma. The parathyroid adenoma contained microcystic areas of degeneration, and it is thought that the parathyroid cyst reflected degenerative change in a pre-existing adenoma. Parathyroid cyst should be considered in the differential diagnosis of ...

INTRODUCTION The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of parathyroid hormone injection on experimental tooth movement in rats. METHODS Sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 2 groups. Their maxillary right first molars were moved mesially with nickel-titanium closed-coil springs. The experimental group received daily subcutaneous injections of parathyroid hormone at a do...
