Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Part One: Evaluation

Saba Kurtom et al. Surg Clin North Am. 2024 Aug.

Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder characterized by the autonomous overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) that leads to hypercalcemia, multiple clinical sequelae, and heterogenous presentation. Whether PHPT is caused by a single benign adenoma (85%), multiglandular disease (15%), or parathyroid carcinoma (1%), surgery is the definitive treatment.

Keywords: Evaluation of primary hyperparathyroidism; Parathyroid exploration; Planning for parathyroidectomy.
