J L Perales Juan, and J Ferrutxe Frau, and B Llopis Mínguez

A case is presented of nephrolithiasis in a patient with no other symptoms than the urological ones and in which considerable hypercalcemia led to a study being carried out on his phospho-calcium metabolism and the diagnosis reached was primary hyperparathyroidism caused by a parathyroid adenoma. Surgical treatment was performed on the lithiasis and the adenoma as a result of which the symptoms completely disappeared and the biochemical readings returned to normal.

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.
D007669	Kidney Calculi	Stones in the KIDNEY, usually formed in the urine-collecting area of the kidney (KIDNEY PELVIS). Their sizes vary and most contains CALCIUM OXALATE.
