Primary Hyperparathyroidism (phpt) : Changing Scenario
نویسنده
چکیده
Our understanding of the evolving clinical profile of primary hyperparathyroidism has changed significantly.Recently substantial insights has been gained into its metabolic bone profile in particular. The epidemiology of primary hyperparathyroidism has fluctuated widely, in large part due to the availability of multi channel chemistry screening. Many patients nowadays are thus discovered through work-up of hypercalcemia detected by routine biochemical screening or as part of an osteoporosis evaluation, which may also uncover the normocalcemic variant of hyperparathyroidism.

Rapid intraoperative determination of intact parathyroid hormone during surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism. Experience at our center.
INTRODUCTION Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is due to a single adenoma in 85%-95% of cases, and is often cured after adenoma removal. Intraoperative rapid determination of intact parathyroid hormone (PTHio) may be a tool for monitoring the effectiveness of PHPT surgery. The main objective of our study was to evaluate PTHio determination and to establish whether its successful implementation...
متن کاملAdvances in the management of asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism
Asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), a condition defined as hyperparathyroidism that lacks specific symptoms or signs and with calcium levels of less than 1 mg/dL above the upper limit of normal, is a common clinical problem. Two previous conferences on the management of asymptomatic PHPT (a Consensus Development Conference and a National Institutes of Health workshop) indicated tha...
متن کاملAnesthetic management of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy
Rationale: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) during pregnancy is rare. Nevertheless, hypercalcemia secondary to gestational PHPT may be masked by physiological changes in calcium homeostasis during pregnancy. Gestational PHPT constitutes a serious danger to mother and fetus. Surgery is the only curative treatment when conservative treatment could not control the condition. Due to the lack of g...
متن کاملAsymptomatic 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 کاملPrimary hyperparathyroidism: Update on presentation, diagnosis, and management in primary care.
Objective To discuss the presentation, diagnosis, and management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in family medicine. Quality of evidence MEDLINE was searched from 2002 to 2009 using the terms presentation, diagnosis, and treatment of PHPT. Proceedings and guidelines from the Third International Workshop on Primary Hyperparathyroidism in May 2008 were reviewed in detail. Most studies offer...
