[The estimation of parathormone in primary hyperparathyroidism (author's transl)]. 1978

C Dubost, and P J Bordier, and J Ferry, and J Gueris

In a recent series of 110 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, estimations of plasma immuno-parathormone (PTH) were carried out in fifty two patients. This estimation proved reliable, making possible the confirmation of the diagnosis. In the absence of renal insufficiency, there was a highly positive relationship between PTH levels and plasma calcium. The relationship between PTH and the weight of the parathyroid tumour was less significant. For technical reasons, this long and difficult estimation cannot be used on a routine basis. However, it is most useful in cases in which other laboratory findings are not typical.

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.
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.

D002118 Calcium A basic element found in nearly all tissues. It is a member of the alkaline earth family of metals with the atomic symbol Ca, atomic number 20, and atomic weight 40. Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body and combines with phosphorus to form calcium phosphate in the bones and teeth. 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.
