Does Parathyroidectomy Reduce CV Risk in Primary Hyperparathyroidism?
Parathyroidectomy may have a potential beneficial effect on lipid profiles and decrease cardiovascular risk in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Hyperparathyroidism
Men Have Greater BMD Increase Than Women After Surgical Treatment for Hyperparathyroidism
A greater increase in bone mineral density at the femoral neck may be seen after parathyroidectomy for sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism in men compared with women.
Intraoperative Monitoring of PTH May Simplify Surgical Care for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring better predicts cure for primary hyperparathyroidism in parathyroidectomy than ultrasound and MIBI scans.
Etelcalcetide Found to Increase BMD in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Markers of bone resorption decreased in hemodialysis patients with 6 months of etelcalcetide treatment.
Thrice-Weekly Calcimimetic Dosing Feasible for Patients on Hemodialysis With Hyperparathyroidism
In a study, patients receiving cinacalcet under supervision 3 times per week after dialysis rather than after daily self-administration showed improvement in their parathyroid hormone levels.
Outcomes of Primary Hyperparathyroidism Treatments During Pregnancy
The rate of pre-eclampsia and preterm delivery was higher in medically managed patients with hyperparathyroidism.
Effects of Vitamin D3 Treatment on Bone Strength in Postmenopausal Women
Investigators sought to determine the effects of vitamin D3 supplementation in postmenopausal women with low serum 25(OH)D and high parathyroid hormone levels.
Prevalence and Predictors of Renal Calcification in Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Investigators aimed to assess biochemical predictors of renal calcifications in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
Parathyroidectomy for Secondary, Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism Increases Morbidity and Mortality
After parathyroidectomy, morbidity and mortality rates were considerably higher in patients with secondary and tertiary vs primary hyperparathyroidism.
Increased Primary Hyperparathyoridism Risk Linked to Weight in Women
Data were collected from the Nurses’ Health Study I to examine the relationship between BMI and primary hyperparathyroidism risk.
