Primary hyperparathyroidism is increasingly common and often asymptomatic. Early detection through routine screening aids in managing this endocrine disorder, with surgery being a safe and effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Metabolic Disorders
  • Oncology

Context:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) incidence has risen over two decades.
  • Clinical presentation shifted from rare and complicated to common and uncomplicated.
  • Increased serum calcium screening for osteoporosis prevention impacts PHP diagnosis.

Purpose:

  • Analyze trends in PHP incidence and clinical presentation.
  • Evaluate changes in patient demographics and symptoms over time.
  • Assess diagnostic and treatment modalities for PHP.

Summary:

  • PHP is more frequent, with a rising female-to-male ratio.
  • Asymptomatic cases increased significantly, while skeletal symptoms decreased.
  • Improved diagnostic assays (immunoradiometric assay) enhance parathyroid hormone measurement.

  • Surgical resection of parathyroid adenoma is safe and effective with low recurrence.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the changing landscape of PHP diagnosis and management.
    • Underscores the importance of routine screening in early PHP detection.
    • Suggests further research is needed for optimal management of mild/asymptomatic PHP, especially in the elderly.
