conclusions io-pth levels should become normal or to drop by at least 80% during successful parathyroidectomy. persistent elevations of io-pth after resection of an abnormal gland dictate the need for bilateral exploration. background we hypothesized that io-pth levels would decline to normal or near normal after successful parathyroidectomy. objectives evaluate efficacy and predictive factor o...

ultrasound is one of the preferred modalities for evaluation of the parathyroid glands. this study was undertaken to determine the accuracy of high resolution ultrasound for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with chronic renal failure. from march 2008 to march 2009, ninety-one hemodialysis patients were examined by high resolution ultrasound (14 mhz) of the parathyroid glands in compari...

case presentation: this case illustrated the development of secondary and subsequently tertiary hyperparathyroidism in a 66-year-old man with a history of chronic renal failure. the patient was managed surgically by parathyroid autotransplantation and serial explantation. discussion: refractory hypercalcemia due to autonomous parathyroid tissue following parathyroidectomy can be managed with gr...

Subcutaneous Parathyroid Hormone in ADH1 In this letter, the investigators report that continuous subcutaneous infusion of parathyroid hormone (1-34) six patients who were between ages 5 ...

AbstractParathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor of the parathyroid glands. The cause of most parathyroid adenomas is unknown. Parathyroid adenoma increases the secretion of parathyroid hormone and results in primary hyperparathyroidism. High amounts of parathyroid hormone in the blood cause the imbalance of calcium, which leads to various complications such as kidney stones, depression, lethargy,...

conclusions while high serum pth, calcium, and phosphorus levels could determine the mortality risk in hemodialysis patients, decreased serum phosphorus and pth levels were in association with malnutrition and comorbidities and were not independent risk factors for mortality. background abnormal mineral metabolism is common among hemodialysis patients and has been associated with higher morbidi...

Minerals play an essential role in the normal vital process.Calcium, phosphorus and magnesium are the most abundant minerals. Vitamin D and parathyroid hormone play a key role in regulation of their homeostasis as well. The aim of this study was to evaluate calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone on 30 Caspian horses of Guilan Province (south of the Caspian Sea) in two...

conclusions elevated serum pth level was the predictive factor for nash in morbidly obese patients. also, we reported elevated serum liver enzymes, high serum pth levels and older age as predictors of nash in patients seeking obesity surgical treatments. results forty-six patients (34 women, aged 36.5 ± 10.6 years) were analyzed. the mean levels of liver enzymes were significantly higher in the...
