Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Pregnancy: Literature Review of the Diagnosis and Management

Abstract: Background: Parathyroid disease is uncommon in pregnancy. During pregnancy, multiple changes occur in the calcium regulating hormones which may make the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism more challenging. Close monitoring of serum calcium during pregnancy is necessary in order to optimize maternal and fetal outcomes. In this review, we will describe the diagnosis and management of primary hyperparathyroidism during pregnancy. Methods: We searched MEDLINE, CINAHL, EMBASE and Google scholar bases from 1 J… Show more

“…Several adverse maternal and fetal outcomes are associated with PHPT in pregnancy. Mothers can present with nephrolithiasis, hyperemesis gravidarum, and, in severe cases, acute pancreatitis ( 86 ), pre-eclampsia, miscarriages, intrauterine growth retardation, and premature delivery ( 3 , 18 , 85 ). These complications seem to be directly related to calcium levels, especially when calcium is 1 mg/dL above the upper normal limit ( 18 , 85 ).…”

“…Surgery can be safely performed in the second trimester ( 3 ), and it should be a MIP guided by localization exams and IO-PTH ( 18 ). Fetal mortality in medically treated pregnant women was estimated to be one in five fetuses (16%), while fetal mortality and morbidity in those who were treated surgically for PHPT were estimated to be 3% and 10%, respectively, according to case reports from 1930 to 1990 ( 86 ). Older literature is believed to represent more severe cases of PHPT in pregnancy with worse outcomes ( 87 ).…”

“…Hyperemesis gravidarum may indeed mask hypercalcemia symptoms while calcium levels are seldom elevated because of pregnancy physiological modifications (haemodilution, hypoalbuminemia, maternal hypercalciuria and high foetal calcium demand, amongst others) [ 3 ]. In pregnancy, symptoms may even be more occult with the possibility of severe events such as pre-eclampsia and hypercalcaemic crisis, not to mention foetal complications [ 4 ].…”
