Acute pancreatitis may be a symptom of primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT). Surgical removal of a parathyroid adenoma can resolve pancreatitis and normalize calcium levels.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Gastroenterology

Background:

  • The relationship between acute pancreatitis and primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) remains debated.
  • This paper reviews the existing medical literature on this controversial topic.

Observation:

  • A case report of a 49-year-old non-alcoholic male with recurrent acute pancreatitis is presented.
  • The patient exhibited elevated serum calcium levels, which were diagnosed late.
  • High parathyroid hormone levels led to the discovery of a solitary parathyroid adenoma.

Findings:

  • Surgical excision of the parathyroid adenoma resulted in normalized serum calcium.
  • The patient's abdominal symptoms, indicative of pancreatitis, resolved post-surgery.

Implications:
