Silent Renal Stones in Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Prevalence and Clinical Features

Prevalence of Kidney Stones and Vertebral Fractures in Primary Hyperparathyroidism Using Imaging Technology

“…However, very few studies have focused on the frequency of KS through imaging technology in asymptomatic subjects (11)(12)(13). Retrospective data give a prevalence range of KS between 7 and 11% when abdominal ultrasound is utilized (11,12). By spiral computed tomography (CT), Starup-Linde et al (13) reported the prevalence of 15.2 and 10.1% for nephrolithiasis and nephrocalcinosis, respectively.…”

Renal Manifestation in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism: a Retrospective Analysis in a Tertiary Institute

“…Ultrasonography is an effective, cheap, radiation free, very sensitive technique and can detect very small calculi of at least 5 millimeter size. It has been reported that in addition to a decrease in the prevalence of renal stone disease, the size of the detected renal stones has also decreased in recent years (12)(13). In this study abdominal ultrasound was used for renal assessment.…”

Italian Society of Endocrinology Consensus Statement: definition, evaluation and management of patients with mild primary hyperparathyroidism

“…Serum creatinine significantly decreased (P < 0.01) over 5 years in patients with asymptomatic PHPT followed without surgery [61]. Renal stone can be present in up to 11.4 % of patients with asymptomatic PHPT [62] and the risk of renal colic requiring hospital admission remains increased for at least 10 year after surgical cure of PHPT [63].…”
