Studies of Hyperparathyroidism and Related Disorders
Patients with confirmed or suspected primary hyperparathyroidism or complications therefrom
(such as postoperative hypoparathyroidism) will be admitted for diagnosis and treatment. The
principal diagnostic components are calcium in serum and urine and parathyroid hormone in
serum. Patients with moderately to highly severe primary hyperparathyroidism will be
treated. Treatment will be mainly by parathyroidectomy. Other options are medications or no
intervention. Patients with a hyperparathyroid syndrome may be managed for their
extraparathyroid features. Preoperative testing to localize parathyroid neoplasm(s) will be
used usually and with more extended methods in cases with prior neck surgery. Preoperative
tumor localization tests will be selected according to clinical indications from the
following: ultrasound, technetium-thallium scan, computerized tomography, magnetic resonance
imaging, fine needle aspiration for parathyroid hormone assay, selective arteriogram,
selective venous catheterization for parathyroid hormone assay. Options for management of
postoperative hypocalcemia include calcium, vitamin D analogs, parathyroid autografts and
synthetic parathyroid hormone. Research specimens may consist of blood or tumors.
Inclusion Criteria
- INCLUSION CRITERIA:
Patients (male or female any age) with known or suspected primary hyperparathyroidism or a
related disorder (such as familial multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 [MEN1]) will be
evaluated.
The vast majority of patients will be greater than age 18.
In the rare occasion where special resources might be appropriate (uremic patient, young
child), the availability of special resources would be confirmed prior to admission.
EXCLUSION CRITERIA:
There are no absolute exclusions.
