[Diagnosis and treatment strategies on primary hyperparathyroidism]

Through analyzing the 13 cases with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) retrospectively, We detected the reasons of the misdiagnosis and the strategy of diagnosis and treatment for the disease.

Thirteen cases of clinical materials on PHPT were collected from 2002 to 2012. Initial symptom, laboratory examination and imaging findings were analyzed. Thirteen cases of patients with PHPT all were performed surgery. The period of postoperative follow up was from 3 to 24 months, averaged for 12.2 months.

Surgeries on 13 patients were successful, including 12 cases of parathyroid adenoma and 1 case of parathyroid hyperplasia. After the operation, blood calcium went back to normal, and the symptoms of bone and urinary tract were relieved.

Initial symptoms of PHPT are predominantly manifested as bone and kidney types. Elevated PTH/blood calcium levels, B-ultrasound/CT and ECT localization are the important diagnosis basis of this disease. Surgical excision of the lesion parathyroid tissue is the most effective treatment.
