Primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy treated with cinacalcet: a case report and review of the literature

Abstract: BackgroundThe efficacy and safety of various modes of medical treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism in pregnancy are largely unknown.Case presentationWe report the case of a 34-year-old white woman with primary hyperparathyroidism symptomatic for nephrolithiasis. Her serum calcium was 3.15 mmol/l and parathyroid hormone was 109.0 ng/L. Neck imaging found no pathological parathyroid tissue. Cinacalcet and cholecalciferol were started. She became pregnant 17 months later. The calcimimetic was stopped. During… Show more

“…In the final weeks of gestation, the foetus needs 25 to 30 g of calcium for bone mineralization 5 . In order to meet those fetal needs, intestinal calcium absorption doubles under mediation by calcitriol, prolactin, and placental lactogen 6 . This calcium is actively transported across the placenta resulting in suppression of fetal PTH secretion until after delivery.…”

“…The efficacy and safety of medical management for PHPT in pregnancy are unknown. Hydration and calcitonin have emerged as safe treatments but are considered ineffective for long-term serum calcium control 6 . Intravenously or orally administered hydration (with or without forced diuresis) is the first line of treatment 8 .…”
