Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with a higher incidence of different cardiovascular diseases (CVD), but the prevalence of CVD in PHPT remains unclear.Aim: To evaluate the prevalence of CVD in PHPT according to the RussianPHPT Registry.Materials and Methods: The Registry includes a database of patients with PHPT available at the Endocrinology Research Centre (Moscow) since 2007, which was transferred to t...

IntroductionTelemedicine is a useful tool for improving the availability of medical care, especially in the era of COVID-19. It is required to study the needs of the Russian population for telemedicine services for each specific disease.MethodsIn Russian Federation telemedicine consultations (TMC) have been legally allowed since 2018. According to the law, if the patient has not previously attended a face-to-...

Introducton: Telemedicine consultations (TMC) are a useful tool for ensuring communication between medical specialists, especially in a large country and in the era of COVID-19. It is important to study the needs and possibilities of TMC for various diseases, in particular, for the pathology of the parathyroid glands.Materials and methods: TMC between regional health specialists and Endocrinology Research Centre (Moscow, Russian Federation) were conducte...

Background: Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare cause of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and extremely rare endocrine malignancy during pregnancy. Different maternal and fetal/neonatal complications of PHPT occur in 67 and 80% of untreated cases respectively, probably more due to severe hypercalcemia.The diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are limited in pregnant women and require individual risk-benefit assessment.Aim: We present a case of PC mani...

Background The combination of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) with anemia was first described in 1931. It remains unclear whether PHPT is the direct cause of anemia, or it develops as a PHPT’s complication. The etiology of anemia in PHPT could be multifactorial, including iron deficiency, renal failure as well as bone marrow fibrosis.Aim To assess the prevalence of anemia in patients with PHPT admitted to the Department of Parathyroid Glands Path...

Rationale: The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the development of telemedicine technologies. Today there is evidence of the successful use of telemedicine in various areas of healthcare, particularly in endocrinology. At the same time, there is not enough information for efficient integration of telemedicine into the routine management of patients.Aim: The aim of this work was a clinical and demographic analysis of “doctor-patient” telemedici...

Background: Approximately 25% of patients with parathyroid carcinoma (PC) have metastases; the most frequent sites include cervical lymph nodes (30%) and lungs (40%). Less common are liver, bones and brain. Surgical resection of local or distant metastases (if possible) provides the best control of hypercalcemia and enhances long-term survival.Case description: A 70-year old patient was admitted to hospital with a primary hyperparathyroidism (PH). He did...

Objective: Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a phenotype of PHPT characterized by normal serum calcium and persistently increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) after exclusion of secondary causes of PTH elevation.The aim: of this study was to investigate the capability of the short test with active metabolites of vitamin D for differential diagnosis between normocalcemic PHPT and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) for inpatient treatment....

Background: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) can present with not only classic complications like bone and kidney pathology but also with different metabolic disorders and cardiovascular diseases. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus type 2 (DM2) in patients with PHPT is higher than in general population but the mechanism of carbohydrate metabolism alteration in PHPT remains unclear.Aim: The aim of this study is to estimate parameters associated with im...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is one of the most common endocrine disorders. No major epidemiological research has been previously conducted in the Russia. This served as the basis for the creation of the Russian online registry of PHPT with accessibility from various regions of the country.Aim: Aim of this study was to estimate the clinical profile, surgical and medical therapy of the patients with different forms of PHPT.<p class...
