Primary Hyperparathyroidism-Bone Diseases And Disorders

http://www.umm.edu/bone/hyperpar.htm

Extractions: Primary hyperparathyroidism is a metabolic disorder in which one (or more) of the parathyroid glands produces too much parathyroid hormone, which can result in the loss of bone tissue. Primary hyperparathyroidism affects 28 out of 100,000 people in the US each year, and is more prevalent in women than in men. A function of the parathyroid hormone is to keep blood-calcium levels from going too low by releasing calcium from bones, conserving calcium that would be excreted by the kidneys, and increasing calcium absorption from food. When the hormone overacts, the result is a rise in the blood-calcium level. When one parathyroid gland becomes enlarged, the condition is called adenoma. When more than one becomes enlarged, the condition is called hyperplasia. Both of these conditions are benign (non-cancerous).

P rimary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in t he outpatient setting. Most persons with this condition are asymptomatic. However, recognition of primary hyperparathyroidism has increased dramatically since the introduction of multichannel autoanalyzers in the 1970s. The disorder can occur in persons of any age but is more common in persons older than 50 years. In the United States, its estimated incidence in persons older than 65 years is one case per 1,000 in men and two to three cases per 1,000 in women. Classic primary hyperparathyroidism with overt complications of osteitis fibrosa cystica, nephrolithiasis, and nephrocalcinosis is rare.

Who gets HPT? ... How is HPT treated? Printer-friendly version Email this article You have 4 pea-sized glands behind the thyroid gland at the front of your neck. These glands are called parathyroids. They make a hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH) that keeps the right levels of calcium in your blood and bones. PTH helps you absorb calcium from your food and keeps you from losing too much calcium in your urine. When your parathyroid glands make too much of this hormone, you have a condition called hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The amount of calcium going into your bones usually matches the amount of calcium passing out of your bones. This means that the amount of calcium in your bones should stay about the same all the time. If you have HPT, more calcium is coming out of your bones than is going in, so you get too much calcium in your blood. Other parts of your body don't work as well if you have too much calcium in your blood. Return to top What are the symptoms of hyperparathyroidism?

This material should not be used as a basis for treatment decisions, and is not a substitute for professional consultation and/or peer-reviewed medical literature. PRIMARY HYPERPARATHYROIDISM S. Mark Overholt, M.D. Primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is the number one cause of hypercalcemia in the non-hospitalized patient, with malignancy predominating in hospitalized patients. The male to female ratio is 1:2, and the incidence increases with age. Prevalence figures show a peak level in females over the age of 40 with 1 in 500 having primary HPT. The overall prevalence in males is 1 in 2000. Hyperparathyroidism can be classified into three distinct entities. Primary hyperparathyroidism is the result of an adenoma, glandular hyperplasia, or carcinoma. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is a reactive hyperplastic phenomenon. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a term used to describe the instance where secondary hyperparathyroidism has become "autonomous."

Extractions: About Table of Contents Metabolic Bone Disease Help Introduction Primary Secondary Tertiary ... Self-evaluation Metabolic bone disease can result from either primary disorders of the endocrine system or, more commonly, from the reaction of the endocrine system to abnormalities in other organ systems. Although all of the endocrine organs have an effect on bone metabolism, disorders related to parathyroid gland function present the most common and significant problems. Hyperparathyroidism may be either primary, secondary or tertiary. Primary hyperparathyroidism results from a parathyroid tumor (benign or malignant) with uncontrolled ectopic production of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the chief cells. This anomaly may be part of multiple endocrine dysfunction syndromes. The effect of elevated PTH on the target organs results in increased serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase, and PTH but decreased serum phosphate. The presence of systemic symptoms is related to the level of hypercalcemia. Secondary hyperparathyroidism, which is most commonly associated with renal disease, results from chronic

Extractions: ism = a disease or condition = HYPERPARATHYROIDISM In patients with hyperparathyroidism, one the parathyroid glands behaves inappropriately by making excess parathyroid hormone regardless of the level of calcium. In other words, one of the parathyroid glands continues to make large amounts of parathyroid hormone even when the calcium level is normal or highwhen the parathyroids should not be making any hormone at all. Remember as you read about hyperparathyroidism on these pages, its a hormone problem, not a cancer problem. As you look at the picture below, you will see that one of the parathyroid glands has grown way too bigit is making too much hormonethus causing hyperparathyroidism.

Extractions: Parathyroid disease (hyperparathyroidism) occurring during pregnancy is a very serious problem. Both the mother's and child's life may be at risk, and the chance for life-long calcium problems for the child exist. The treatment is surgery for the mom usually during the second trimester. Parathyroid disease is not very common. Parathyroid disease during pregnancy is VERY RARE. However, this can be a VERY serious problem for both mother and child. It must be addressed in the correct fashion for the best results... and the obstetrician and the surgeon must communicate so that both the mother and the child do well. Potential Risks of Hyperparathyroidism During Pregnancy: Increased risk of hypertension (pre-eclampsia and eclampsia) in the mother. Risk of miscarriage can be as high as 25 percent. Risk of permanent hyp0parathyroidism in baby (failure of the parathyroid glands to form). Risk of heart rhythm problems during labor / delivery.

http://www.ithyroid.com/hyperparathyroidism.htm

Extractions: HYPERPARATHYROIDISM The parathyroid glands are located alongside the thyroid gland and produce parathyroid hormone which regulates calcium metabolism. Hyperparathyroidism is the condition where an excessive amount of parathyroid hormone is produced resulting in low serum levels of calcium. The following study indicates that hyperparathyroidism commonly coexists with hyperthyroidism (77% in this study), at least in cats. J Small Anim Pract 1996 Dec;37(12):575-82 t Thirty cats with untreated hyperthyroidism were blood sampled and their calcium homeostatic mechanisms and renal function assessed. The results were compared with those obtained from 38 age-matched control cats. The hyperthyroid group of cats were found to have significantly lower blood ionised calcium and plasma creatinine concentrations and significantly higher plasma phosphate and parathyroid hormone concentrations. Hyperparathyroidism occurred in 77 per cent of hyperthyroid cats, with parathyroid hormone concentrations reaching up to 19 times the upper limit of the normal range. The aetiology, significance and reversibility of hyperparathyroidism in feline hyperthyroidism remains to be established but could have important implications for both bone strength and renal function.

http://www.cah.com/library/hyperpar.html

Extractions: Nutritional Secondary Hyperparathyroidism Young growing animals have a greater requirement for calcium than adults do to achieve normal mineralization of cartilage and bone. Nutritional secondary hyperparathyroidism develops if there is a calcium deficiency in the diet, or an increase in dietary phosphorus combined with a normal or decreased calcium, or a deficient intake of vitamin D. The condition is mainly seen in dogs and cats (especially kittens of Oriental breeds) that are fed all-meat diets or all-grain diets. Meat, offal and cereals are deficient in calcium and rich in phosphorus. Pathogenesis: An increased plasma phosphorus level produces a reciprocal fall in the plasma calcium concentrations. Chronic low calcium levels stimulated the release of parathyroid hormone. This process of increased parathyroid hormone eventually will cause weakening of the bone resulting in both bone pain and pathological fractures (fractures following relatively minor events such as jumping from a sofa. Clinical Signs: Usually seen in dogs and cats under 6 months of age.
