Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.
The clinical profile of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) as it is seen in the United States and most Western countries has evolved significantly over the past half century. The introduction of the multichannel serum autoanalyzer in the 1970s led to the recognition of a cohort of individuals with asymptomatic hypercalcemia, in whom evaluation led to the diagnosis of PHPT. The term "asymptomati...
متن کاملCardiovascular risk factors in patients with asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.
OBJECTIVES Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP), even asymptomatic, have an increased cardiovascular risk. However, data on reversibility or improvement of cardiovascular disorders with surgery are controversial. Our aims were to assess the prevalence of classic cardiovascular risk factors in patients with asymptomatic PHP, to explore their relationship with calcium and PTH levels, a...
متن کاملThe diagnosis and management of asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism revisited.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disease, especially in countries where multichannel biochemical screening, including the serum calcium measurement, is routinely used. As a result of the introduction of the automated serum screening chemistry panel in the United States in the early 1970s, the prevalence and incidence of the disease was shown to be much higher than previo...
متن کاملNeonatal hypocalcemia due to asymptomatic maternal primary hyperparathyroidism.
Neonatal hypocalcemia resulting from maternal primary hyperparathyroidism (MPH) is usually detected clinically in the first 2 weeks of life. Occasionally, diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism in a young asymptomatic mother is made when the infant presents with hypocalcemia. We present an infant with late onset hypocalcemia resulting from a combination of transient hypoparathyroidism due to ...
متن کاملCost-effectiveness analysis of parathyroidectomy for asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism.
BACKGROUND Controversy exists concerning the best treatment for asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) when the National Institutes of Health consensus conference criteria for parathyroidectomy are not met. We hypothesized that parathyroidectomy would be more cost-effective than observation or pharmacologic therapy for these patients. METHODS Cost-effectiveness analysis was performed...
