Introduction: Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) and PTH have been identified as major players in the bone-parathyroid-kidney axis controlling phosphate homeostasis. In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) data on the relationship between PTH and FGF23 are scarce and not always concordant.Objective: The aim of our study was to evaluate whether the relationship between PTH and FGF23 was altered in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and...

Introduction: Persistent hyperparathyroidism is reported to occur in 0–6% of cases after initial surgery for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). The management of these cases is complex, however, with a poor cure rate despite repeated surgery. The aim of our study was to identify the challenges and pitfalls encountered in the management of a series of patients with persistent hyperparathyroidism after initial parathyroidectomy.Patients and ...
