Does hyperparathyroidism cause hypergastrinemia? 1976

S D Wilson, and R B Singh, and R K Kalkhoff

To define the relationship between hyperparathyroidism (HPT) and gastric function, 31 patients with HPT were prospectively studied before and 2 to 25 months after parathyroidectomy. The gastrin response to a standard test meal (STM), the basal acid output (BAO), and the peak acid output (PAO) were determined. Parathormone and calcium were elevated in all patients and returned to normal following parathyroidectomy. The mean fasting gastrin concentration, mean integrated gastrin response (IGR) to feeding, mean basal acid output (BAO), and mean peak acid output (PAO) were not changed by successful parathyroidectomy. There was no significant correlation between gastrin concentration or gastrin response to feeding and gastric acid secretion. Eight of 31 HPT patients had fasting gastrin concentrations above normal preoperatively and remained so postoperatively. Hypergastrinemia in six of these eight patients could be explained by the Zollinger-Ellison (Z-E) syndrome or chronic atrophic gastritis. The hypothesis that peptic ulcer disease seen in some HPT patients is the result of calcium-induced hypergastrinemia causing gastric hypersecretion is not supported by this study.

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.

D010758 Phosphorus A non-metal element that has the atomic symbol P, atomic number 15, and atomic weight 31. It is an essential element that takes part in a broad variety of biochemical reactions.

D011863 Radioimmunoassay Classic quantitative assay for detection of antigen-antibody reactions using a radioactively labeled substance (radioligand) either directly or indirectly to measure the binding of the unlabeled substance to a specific antibody or other receptor system. Non-immunogenic substances (e.g., haptens) can be measured if coupled to larger carrier proteins (e.g., bovine gamma-globulin or human serum albumin) capable of inducing antibody formation. Radioimmunoassays
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.
