Diagnosis

Nonspecific symptoms, fatigue, musculoskeletal pain, constipation, depression, do not correlate with hypercalcemia.[1]

The serum chloride phosphate ratio is high (33 or more) in most patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. [2][3][4] However, thiazide medications have been reported to causes ratios above 33.[5]

Treatment

Medications

For secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, consider:

  • phosphate binders such as calcium acetate, calcium carbonate, and sevelamer
  • vitamin D analogues such as calcitriol
  • calcimimetic therapy such as cinacalcet that inhibit secretion of PTH

Surgery

A consensus statement in 2002 recommended the following indications for surgery[6]:

  • Serum calcium (above upper limit of normal): 1.0 mg/dl
  • 24-h urinary calcium >400 mg
  • Creatinine clearance reduced by 30% compared with age-matched subjects.
  • Bone mineral density t-score <-2.5 at any site
  • Age <50

More recently, randomized controlled trials have studied the role of surgery in patients with mild or asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism. The largest study reported that surgery showed increase in bone mass, but no improvement in quality of life after one to two years among patients with[7]:

  • Untreated, asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism
  • Serum calcium between 2.60 - 2.85 mmol/liter (10.4 - 11.4 mg/dl)
  • Age between 50 and 80 yr
  • No medications interfering with Ca metabolism
  • No hyperparathyroid bone disease
  • No previous operation in the neck
  • Creatinine level < 130 µmol/liter (<1.47 mg/dl)

Other trials reported improvements in bone density and some improvement in quality of life with surgery.[8][9][10]

An uncontrolled case series suggests parathyroidectomy may be beneficial in geriatrics.[11]

Prevention

Increased calcium supplementation may help prevent.[12]
