A previously fit and well 21-year-old man
presented to the orthopaedic team with:
• Right hip pain that had been going on for 3 weeks, no
previous history of trauma.
• Able to bear weight but had an antalgic gait.
• Had a limp as a child that was self-limiting and no cause for
this was identified.
• No relevant family history and he lived alone.
• He was found to be very thirsty, and even at night he would
routinely drink 2 L of water.
• He was a non-smoker and drank alcohol socially.
INVESTIGATION
• BLOOD SAMPLE:
– Hypercalcaemia (3.55 mmol/l)
– Anemia (Hb 8.6 mg/dL)
– Renal impairment (urea: 13.6 mmol/L, creatinine
170 μmol/L)
– Raised alkaline phosphatase (2534 U/L)
• Renal ultrasound: nephrocalcinosis
• Raised parathyroid hormone level: 1285ng/L
• Neck ultrasound scan and a sesta-mibi scan:
demonstrated the appearances in keeping
with a left lower parathyroid adenoma.
• X-rays of his pelvis and femurs: demonstrated
a right intracapsular fracture of the neck of
femur and a displaced transverse mid-shaft
fracture of left femur.
Question
• What is the diagnosis of this patient?
• What is the clinical presentation of the
disease?
• What is the examination that can support the
diagnosis?
• What is the complication of the disease?
• What is the the treatment for the disease?
Defenition
• secondary
– hypocalcemia/normocalcemia
– ↑ PTH
• malignancy
– ↓ PTH
• ↑ alkaline phosphatase
• normal anion gap metabolic acidosis
– ↓ renal reclamation of bicarbonate
• Urinalysis primary
– hypercalciuria (renal stones)
– ↑ cAMP
• Radiograph cystic bone spaces ("salt and pepper")
– often in the skull
• loss of phalange bone mass
– ↑ concavity (see key image of this topic)
• EKG shortened QT
Complication
• Peptic ulcer disease
– ↑ gastrin production stimulated by ↑ Ca2+
• Acute pancreatitis
– ↑ lipase activity stimulated by ↑ Ca2+
• CNS dysfunction
– anxiety, confusion, coma
– result of metastatic calcification of the brain
Therapy
• Acute hypercalcemia IV fluids
• Loop diuretics
• Symptomatic hypercalcemia is treated
surgically treat with parathyroidectoy
• complications include post-op hypocalcemia
• manifests as numbness, tingling, and muscle
cramps
• should be treated with IV calcium gluconate
Primary hyperparathyroidism results most
often (75-80%) from the occurrence of one or
more adenomas in previously normal
parathyroid glands, although in 20% of cases
diffuse hyperplasia of all parathyroid glands
may be present or, rarely, parathyroid
carcinoma may be found (less than 1-2%)
