    Two patients presented with concurrent primary hyperparathyroidism and primary hyperaldosteronism, exhibiting high blood pressure and kidney stones. Surgical removal of parathyroid adenomas improved their conditions, highlighting an unusual dual endocrine disorder.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism and primary hyperaldosteronism are distinct endocrine disorders.
    • Concurrent occurrence is rare, necessitating investigation into potential shared etiologies or presentations.

    Observation:

    • Two patients presented with hypertension and renal calculi, indicative of hypercalcaemia.
    • Both patients exhibited hyperparathyroidism (elevated parathyroid hormone, parathyroid adenoma) and hyperaldosteronism (hypokalaemia, low plasma renin, adrenal adenoma).

    Findings:

    • Surgical excision of parathyroid adenomas was performed in both patients.
    • One patient underwent adrenal adenoma removal, while the other was managed medically with mineralocorticoid receptor antagonists.
    • Diagnostic investigations confirmed dual adenomas in one patient and suggested them in the other.

    Implications:

    • This case series highlights a rare co-occurrence of primary hyperparathyroidism and primary hyperaldosteronism.
    • The findings suggest a potential link or shared predisposition between these conditions.
    • Further research is warranted to explore the underlying mechanisms and clinical significance of this dual endocrine pathology.
