[Rheumatic symptoms in primary hyperparathyroidism].

M Helliwell

    Postgraduate Medical Journal
    |April 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary
    This summary is machine-generated.

    Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) frequently causes musculoskeletal symptoms like myalgia and arthralgia. Early recognition and serum calcium testing are crucial for diagnosing HPT in patients with rheumatic complaints.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Rheumatology
    • Orthopedics

    Background:

    • Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is an endocrine disorder often presenting with vague symptoms.
    • Musculoskeletal complaints are common but may delay HPT diagnosis.

    Observation:

    • A retrospective survey of 34 HPT patients revealed significant musculoskeletal issues.
    • 53% reported symptoms in the year preceding diagnosis; 26% sought rheumatological or orthopedic consultation.

    Findings:

    • Myalgia (41%) and arthralgia (32%) were the most prevalent symptoms.
    • Two patients exhibited erosive synovitis, mimicking rheumatoid arthritis.
    • Radiological abnormalities were noted in 8 patients.

    Implications:

    • Clinicians should consider HPT in patients with unexplained rheumatic symptoms.
    • Serum calcium level measurement is recommended for investigating musculoskeletal complaints.
    • Awareness of HPT's diverse musculoskeletal manifestations can improve diagnostic timeliness.
