26, out of them 20 surgically proven cases of primary hyperparathyroidism are presented. The value of different laboratory, radiographic and scintigraphic analysis is examined. The estimation of calcium and phosphate in serum, the iPTH-determination and fine detail hands radiographs were found to be sufficient to establish diagnosis and indication for surgery. The chloride/phosphate-ratio proved valuable in comparative statistical analysis between pHPT and two control groups. Venous sampling at present seems to be the superior method for preoperative localization of parathyroid disease. It should be performed before second surgical intervention in the cervical region, in elderly (more than 60 years old) and risk patients. Early diagnosis and therapy of pHPT is important as pHPT is a chronic disease with many organ complications. The value of calcium-screening in an age group between 40 and 60 years is discussed.

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
D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
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.
