Primary hyperparathyroidism was diagnosed in 6.7% of 164 hypercalcemic patients, often presenting late with severe complications. Routine serum calcium testing may reveal more cases, including asymptomatic ones.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Nephrology
  • Bone Metabolism

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common endocrine disorder.
  • Its presentation and incidence can vary geographically.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for managing complications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the correlation, frequency, and presentation of PHPT in hypercalcemic patients.
  • To compare the incidence with international data.
  • To highlight the potential impact of routine screening.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 164 hypercalcemic patients.
  • Diagnostic criteria for PHPT were applied.
  • Clinical data on presentation and complications were collected.

Main Results:

  • PHPT was diagnosed in 11 patients (6.7%).
  • All diagnosed patients presented late with renal and bony complications.
  • The observed incidence appears lower than in Western countries.

Conclusions:

  • The incidence of PHPT in this cohort is 6.7%, with late presentation common.
  • Routine serum calcium estimation is recommended for early detection, especially for asymptomatic cases.
  • Further studies are needed to confirm the lower incidence compared to Western populations.
