[Primary hyperparathyroidism (author's transl)]. 1979

M Rothmund, and J L Prieto, and F Kümmerle

Experience gained from 100 patients with surgically and histologically proven primary hyperparathyroidism over a period of 14 years led to simplification of diagnostic procedures and development of a surgical scheme. Over the years patients with discrete disease symptoms or with asymptomatic disease were observed more frequently. This can be seen as the result of earlier diagnosis due to increasing spread of laboratory autoanalysers and the resulting routine calcium determination. Development of surgical intervention is characterised by omitting preoperative diagnostic procedures to determine localisation, a schematised operation, and more reliance on macroscopic criteria rather than on quick sections during surgery.

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.

It is essential for the normal functioning of nerves and muscles and plays a role in blood coagulation (as factor IV) and in many enzymatic processes.
