Association of preoperative therapy by native form vitamin D and hypocalcemia after parathyroidectomy in primary hyperparathyroidism patients

Elfimova Alina , Eremkina Anna , Rebrova Olga , Kovaleva Elena , Mokrysheva Natalia

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder resulting from oversecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in parathyroid glands. Hypocalcemia can occur in the postoperative period after parathyroidectomy (PTE) and can be challenging to control and requires varying doses of supplementation. Vitamin D deficiency can worsen the severity of PHPT and promote the development of hungry bone syndrome due to increased influx of calcium into bon...

Metabolic parameters in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before and after parathyroidectomy

Bibik Ekaterina , Dobreva Ekaterina , Miliutina Anastasia , Elfimova Alina , Eremkina Anna , Mokrysheva Natalia

Background: Metabolic syndrome may be the nonclassical feature of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) because an increased incidence of various glucose and lipid disorders is often observed in patients with this disease. Earlier we showed PHPT patients had higher serum triglycerides and higher rate of insulin resistance compared to the control group. Dynamics of metabolic parameters after surgery is ambiguous.The aim: of this study was to compare metaboli...

Mediastinal parathyroid lipoadenoma as a cause of primary hyperparathyroidism

Dominguez Jesus Manuel Cornejo , Suarez Alvaro Vidal , Gavira Isabel Maria Mateo , Rodriguez Maria del Mar Roca , Barea Isabel Maria Torres

Introduction: The parathyroid gland is made up of principal cells and oxyphilic cells, surrounded by stroma, whose main component is adipose tissue, which accounts for 25% of the content of the parathyroid in adults. In parathyroid adenomas, prominent parathyroid cellularity can be observed, with a very marked decrease in the stroma. Parathyroid lipoadenoma is a rare variant of parathyroid adenoma, characterized by hyperfunctioning parathyroid cells in an abundant fatty stroma...

Autosomal dominant hypocalcaemia type 1 with intact PTH and relative hypocalciuria.

Rashid Razan Ali , Quinton Richard , Joshi Ashwin

Autosomal Dominant Hypocalcaemia (ADH) type 1 is caused by activating mutations of the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) gene. Although a rare condition, the exact prevalence is uncertain as patients are asymptomatic and, historically, were sometimes diagnosed with hypoparathyroidism (HPT) due insensitivity of earlier PTH assays and failure to check urinary calcium. The consequences of an erroneous diagnosis of HPT in patients with ADH can be profound, as treatment with calcium ...

In recent years, there has been increasing evidence for the hypothesis of bones as endocrine organs. Osteocalcin, long considered just a marker of new bone formation, is now seen as the first hormone produced by bones, and seems to be associated with regulating glucose metabolism and reproduction.

Osteoporosis management increased determination of serum calcium (Ca) levels, and detection of hypercalcemia in the set of out patients. Serum phosphate (P) levels are less frequently measured in osteometabolic patients. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypophosphatemia.

Aberrant epigenetic features occurring in parathyroid tumors involve DNA methylation, histone methylation, and non-coding RNAs. RASSF1A and APC were frequently downregulated in human cancers. Here, we investigated RASSF1A and APC methylation status in a series of parathyroid tumors from Italian patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PAds, n=80), confirming RASSF1A and APC promoter methylation as a hallmark of sporadic parathyroi...

Prediction of 25-hydroxy vitamin D status by serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) value.

Ranathunga Ishara , Naveenkumar J P , Sumanatilleke Manilka , Somasundaram Noel

Background and Objectives: The low vitamin D status in an individual leads to a compensatory increase in serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level giving rise to secondary hyperparathyroidism. The elevated PTH will conserve calcium excretion from the kidneys in the expense of excreting phosphate. Thus, serum calcium levels tend to remain normal until the latter stages of vitamin D deficiency. PTH action on the bone to reabsorb more calcium from the bone lead to elevation of bone a...

Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare disorder characterized by parathormone (PTH) resistance, caused primarily by genetic defects involving the alpha-subunit of the stimulatory G protein. Biochemical and molecular analysis classify pseudohypoparathyroidism into types I-a, I-b, I-c and 2. We report a case of PHP I-b in an adolescent presenting with a neurological disorder.Case Report: 11 years old female patient, with no relevant persona...

Multifactorial causes of secondary osteoporosis: a case report

Fortes Delfina Indira , Barbosa Ana Paula

Introduction: Osteoporosis is a metabolic bone disease, characterized by reduction and changes in the bone mass quantity and quality, leading to an increased risk of fractures. It can be divided in primary (postmenopausal or senile), secondary and idiopathic. In the presence of osteoporotic fractures, particularly in men before the age of 65, it is essential to investigate the presence of secondary causes in order to establish an etiological therapy.Case...

Clinical, biological and evolutionary comparison of postsurgical hypoparathyroidism and non-postsurgical hypoparathyroidism

Soomauroo Siddiqa , Mnif Fatma , Mohamed Ahmed Mohamed Abdellahi , Kacem Akid Faten Haj , Charfi Nadia , Mnif Mouna , Abid Mohamed

Introduction: Hypoparathyroidism (HPTH) is an uncommon condition resulting in the production of insufficient amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands consequently affecting the calcium phosphate balance. The most frequent etiology of HPTH is the damage to or removal of the parathyroid glands due to a surgery for another condition. Other causes, including autoimmunity and genetic disorders may be responsible for HPTH. Our aim is to compare the different cl...

Sporadic multiple-gland disease in primary hyperparathyroidism

Ayedi Sirine , Thabet Wadii , Chaabouni Mohamed Amine , Mallouli Manel , Mnejja Malek , Charfeddine Ilhem

Introduction: In 8090% of cases, the cause of sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism is adenoma of one parathyroid gland. Multiple-gland disease (MGD) is defined in patients with more than one pathological parathyroid gland.

Rheumatoid arthritis is a systemic autoimmune inflammatory disease characterized by severe pain, if left untreated. Primary hyperparathyroidism is a systemic disorder characterized by disordered calcium metabolism leading to increased serum calcium and PTH levels. Primary hyperparathyroidism may be due to the presence of a parathyroid adenoma or parathyroid hyperplasia. The aim was to present a cohort of patients with rheumatoid arthritis who presented with primary hyperparath...

Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a part of a very rare heterogeneous group of endocrine disorders. It is caused by alterations in the PTH receptor, which is encoded by the GNAS1 gene inducing target tissue resistance to PTH. Pseudohypoparathyroidism typically gets discovered during early childhood, rare are the cases discovered in adulthood.Observation: Herein the case of a 35-year-old man, descendant of a non-consanguineous marriage, with...

Kashanivahid Narges , Tabesh Hadi , Bazrafshan Hamid

Introduction: Hyperparathyroidism happens when one or more of parathyroid glands secret excessive parathyroid hormone, causing calcium levels in blood to rise. A diagnosis may be missed or delayed because there are no symptoms or they are vague, like depression, tiredness, losing your appetite in addition to hypercalcaemia symptoms e.g. vomiting, bone and joint pain, dehydration, hypertension, etc. Surgery to remove the parathyroid gland is usually the only way of treating pri...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common manifestation of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) type 1, with a frequent involvement of all the parathyroids. In cases where the four glands werent resected, a close monitoring should be performed for an early diagnosis of recurrence. Elevated calcium levels with elevated parathormone (PTH) levels in this context makes the physician suspect an adenoma or a hyperplasia of the remaining parathyroid. We herein ...
