Background: Adverse effects of high parathormone hormone (PTH) in critical illness have been described in some studies.  Objective: The relationship between high PTH levels with mortality in hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was evaluated in the present study. Methods: A total of 123 patients were included in the study. The patients were evaluated in phase 1 (on admission) and phase 2 (days...

Background Tertiary hyperparathyroidism occurs in 25% to 50% of kidney-transplanted patients. Indication parathyroidectomy is now discussed, since the calcimimetic agent, cinacalcet, an alternate option. The effects either these treatments on graft function remain controversial, studied only small cohorts showing decrease or absence modification. We performed a meta-analysis evaluate evolution ...

CONTEXT Primary hyperparathyroidism with hypercalciuria has not been described in the newborn period. OBJECTIVE Our objectives are to identify the genetic basis for neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism in a family with 2 affected children. SUBJECTS An African American boy presenting with mild neonatal primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalciuria was evaluated at The Children's Hospital of...

The major contributions of Fuller Albright to our understanding of calcium and phosphorus regulation and primary hyperparathyroidism are highlighted. Albright was the first investigator to initiate a systematic study of mineral metabolism. With resources limited to the measurement of serum calcium and phosphorus and the infusion of parathyroid extract, Albright used balance studies to establish...

OBJECTIVE To describe the non-classical manifestations and quality of life in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). SUBJECTS AND METHODS We evaluated non-classical manifestations and quality of life of 22 patients with PHPT using the SF-36 questionnaire according to the time since diagnosis. RESULTS In the scores of quality of life, a significant difference was found comparing t...
