Abstract
Traditionally, classical complications of primary hyperparathyroidism are mainly represented by skeletal, kidney and gastrointestinal involvement. The old picture of osteitis fibrosa cystica is no longer commonly seen, at least in the western world. However, new imagining techniques have highlighted deterioration of skeletal tissue in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism not captured by traditional DXA measurement. Concerning the kidney, the most common consequences of excessive parathyroid hormone secretion are hypercalciuria and kidney stones; however, the exact pathogenesis of urinary stone formation is still unknown. The 2013 International Congress on the management of Asymptomatic Primary Hyperparathyroidism, emphasized the role of imaging techniques for early discovery of both skeletal and renal complications in asymptomatic patients. Gastrointestinal manifestations include acid-peptic disease, constipation, pancreatitis and gall stone disease. More studies are needed in this area to find the exact pathophysiological mechanism underlying these manifestations and the effect of parathyroid surgery.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
