Primary hyperparathyroidism can be missed, especially in older adults with vague symptoms. Early consideration is crucial because this curable disease can become life-threatening if left untreated.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Geriatric Medicine

Background:

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is often underdiagnosed.
  • Normocalcemic cases are particularly challenging to identify.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the importance of considering PHP in older adults.
  • To emphasize the curable nature and potential severity of PHP.

Main Methods:

  • This study is a review of clinical considerations for PHP diagnosis.
  • Focuses on recognizing subtle presentations in the elderly population.

Main Results:

  • Many PHP cases are missed, especially normocalcemic ones.
  • Older patients with chronic mental, neuromuscular, GI, or arthralgia symptoms may have undiagnosed PHP.

Conclusions:

  • Consider PHP in older patients with unexplained chronic symptoms.
  • Timely diagnosis and treatment are essential due to curability and potential life-threatening complications.
