Abstract: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common disorder of mineral metabolism characterized by incompletely regulated, excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone from one or more of the parathyroid glands. In adults with the disease, a single, benign adenoma is seen approximately 80 percent of the time, with multiple gland involvement comprising most of the remaining patients. Very rarely, a parathyroid cancer is responsible but it is seen in less than 0.5 percent of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. In this… Show more

“…There is no approved medical treatment available for pHPT at this time; however, patients with no clear indication for surgery can be closely monitored [69] according to the guidelines in Table 1, established in the summary statement from the Third International Workshop on the Management of Asymptomatic Primary Hyperparathyroidism [28]. Figure 1 provides a flowchart for the management of pHPT.…”

“…The incidence of PHPT increases with age and is more prevalent in women, especially postmenopausal women 2,7,8. Muscle weakness and fatigue are among the most common complaints presented by patients with asymptomatic PHPT and are often accompanied by degrees of constitutional, behavioral, and psychiatric symptomatologies 9,10. In asymptomatic PHPT, the demonstration of bone involvement depends on the bone densitometry evaluation, which demonstrates the predominant decrease of mineral bone density in the cortical bones, especially in the distal radius 10…”
