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...

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...

Background: In some patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) demonstrate decrease after parathyroidectomy (PTE). GFR may decrease immediately after surgery due to general anesthesia, but after a month not all patients restore kidney function; a decreased GFR is also observed after 1–2 years after surgery.Aim: To find the pre-surgical factors of GFR decrease after PTE.Methods: Patients ...
