Hypocalciuric hyperparathyroidism with chronic renal failure.

B B Kirschbaum, D A Sica, B M Hom

    Southern Medical Journal
    |August 1, 1983
    PubMed
    Summary

    This study details a patient with hypertension and chronic renal disease experiencing hypercalcemia. Surgical removal of a parathyroid adenoma successfully normalized calcium and phosphate levels.

    Area of Science:

    • Endocrinology
    • Nephrology
    • Oncology

    Background:

    • The case involves a patient with pre-existing hypertension and chronic renal disease.
    • The patient presented with unexplained hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia, necessitating further investigation.

    Observation:

    • Elevated serum parathyroid hormone and urine nephrogenous cyclic adenosine monophosphate levels were noted.
    • Low absolute and fractional urine calcium excretion suggested hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.

    Findings:

    • Surgical intervention involved the removal of a parathyroid adenoma.
    • Post-surgery, serum calcium and phosphate levels normalized.
    • A complete absence of calcium in the 24-hour urine collection was observed post-operation.

    Implications:

    • Parathyroid adenoma can cause significant metabolic disturbances like hypercalcemia in patients with renal disease.
    • Surgical management is effective in resolving hypercalcemia and associated metabolic abnormalities.
    • This case highlights the importance of considering parathyroid pathology in renal patients with calcium-phosphate imbalances.
