Urinary excretion of cyclic AMP in primary hyperparathyroidism. 1975

P C Bartley, and D Willgoss, and H M Lloyd

Urinary adenosine 3' 5' - cyclic monophosphate (cyclic AMP) was assessed by a competitive protein binding method in 19 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and in 15 control subjects. The mean value of 6.6 +/- S.E. 0-64 muM per 24 hours for the patients with PHPT was higher (P less than 0-001) than the mean control value of 3-2 +/- 0-24 muM per 24 hours. In all hypercalcaemic patients without renal insufficiency, urinary cyclic AMP excretion was more than 4 muM per 24 hours and decreased in the 15 patients investigated after parathyroidectomy. In a normocalcaemic hyperparathyroid patient and in three hyperparathyroid patients with renal insufficiency, urinary cyclic AMP was less than 4 muM per 24 hours.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D006961	Hyperparathyroidism	A condition of abnormally elevated output of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH) triggering responses that increase blood CALCIUM. It is characterized by HYPERCALCEMIA and BONE RESORPTION, eventually leading to bone diseases. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is caused by parathyroid HYPERPLASIA or PARATHYROID NEOPLASMS. SECONDARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM is increased PTH secretion in response to HYPOCALCEMIA, usually caused by chronic KIDNEY DISEASES.
D007011	Hypoparathyroidism	A condition caused by a deficiency of PARATHYROID HORMONE (or PTH). It is characterized by HYPOCALCEMIA and hyperphosphatemia. Hypocalcemia leads to TETANY. The acquired form is due to removal or injuries to the PARATHYROID GLANDS. The congenital form is due to mutations of genes, such as TBX1; (see DIGEORGE SYNDROME); CASR encoding CALCIUM-SENSING RECEPTOR; or PTH encoding parathyroid hormone.

D000242	Cyclic AMP	An adenine nucleotide containing one phosphate group which is esterified to both the 3'- and 5'-positions of the sugar moiety. It is a second messenger and a key intracellular regulator, functioning as a mediator of activity for a number of hormones, including epinephrine, glucagon, and ACTH.
