This report summarizes data on traditional and nontraditional manifestations of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) that have been published since the last International Workshop PHPT.This subgroup was constituted by Steering Committee to address key questions related presentation PHPT. Consensus established at a closed meeting Expert Panel followed.Data from 5-year period between 2008 2013 were presented discussed determine whether they support changes in recommendations for surgery or...
Abstract Typically, in the milder form of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), now seen most countries, bone density by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) and detailed analyses iliac crest biopsies histomorphometry micro–computed tomography (µCT) show detrimental effects cortical bone, whereas trabecular site (lumbar spine DXA) compartment (by biopsy) appear to be relatively well preserved. Despite these findings, fracture risk at both vertebral nonvertebral sites is increased PHPT....
Context:PTH may be an effective treatment option for hypoparathyroidism, but long-term data are not available.
Complaints from hypoparathyroid patients often reflect a reduction in quality of life (QOL), yet few data exist characterizing these complaints or the potential effects PTH therapy to ameliorate them. We tested hypothesis that PTH(1–84) improves QOL hypoparathyroidism. Fifty-four subjects received open-label recombinant human PTH(1–84). Before and during PTH(1–84), completed RAND 36-Item Health Survey, measure health-related covering 8 domains physical mental health. At baseline, scored...
Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism is typically identified after referral to a specialty clinic. At diagnosis, patients demonstrate features seen in hypercalcemic hyperparathyroidism. hypoparathyroidism has been discovered hypocalcemia unmasked bisphosphonate administration. We hypothesized that screening unselected, nonreferral populations, such as The Osteoporotic Fractures Men (MrOS) study and Dallas Heart Study (DHS), would identify asymptomatic subjects with normocalcemic...
Human recombinant (rh)PTH(1–84) was recently approved for the treatment of refractory hypoparathyroidism, based upon a short-term phase 3 clinical trial. Long-term data are needed, because no time limit placed on period. We studied effect long-term rhPTH(1–84) in hypoparathyroidism up to 6 years. Prospective open-label study. Referral center. A total 33 subjects with hypoparathyroidism. initiated at starting dose 100 μg every other day Due availability new dosages during 6-year period study,...
In hypoparathyroidism, quality of life (QOL) is compromised as compared to normal subjects. We previously reported our results showing an association with recombinant human PTH(1-84) therapy in hypoparathyroidism and improvement QOL measures for 1 year.We tested the hypothesis that through 5 years would be associated continued measures.Sixty-nine hypoparathyroid subjects received open-label PTH(1-84). Before during therapy, completed RAND 36-Item Short Form (SF-36) Health Survey, a measure...
ABSTRACT In hypoparathyroidism, areal bone mineral density (BMD) by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA) is above average, and skeletal indices biopsy are abnormal. We used high-resolution peripheral quantitative computed tomography (HRpQCT) finite element analyses (FEA) to further investigate microstructure estimated strength. studied 60 hypoparathyroid subjects on conventional therapy using DXA, HRpQCT, FEA of the distal radius tibia compared with normative controls from Canadian...
Abstract Context Conventional treatment of hypoparathyroidism is associated with decreased renal function and increased bone mineral density (BMD). Objective To evaluate the effects 8 years recombinant human parathyroid hormone (1-84) [rhPTH(1-84)] therapy on key biochemical densitometric indices. Design Prospective open-label trial. Setting Tertiary medical center. Participants Twenty-four subjects hypoparathyroidism. Intervention Treatment rhPTH(1-84) for years. Main Outcome Measures...
Hypercalcemia in ambulatory patients is occasionally caused by vitamin D toxicity.We report nine presenting to Columbia University Medical Center with hypercalcemia due a supplement from the Dominican Republic containing massive amounts of D.Case histories and laboratory evaluation (calcium, PTH, metabolites) are discussed context other published cases toxicity. The was analyzed HPLC quantitate A content.Nine presented (range, 10.8-17.2 mg/dl; normal, 8.4-9.8 mg/dl), suppressed PTH <3 11...
