Hypercalcemia and Hyperparathyroidism

  • Differential Diagnosis of Hypercalcemia:
    • Primary hyperparathyroidism:
      • Solitary adenoma:
        • 85% to 90% of the cases
      • Multigland Disease:
        • Multigland hyperplasia:
          • 3% of the cases
        • Doble adenoma:
          • 6% to 9% of the cases
        • Triple adenoma:
          • 0.3% of the cases
    • Secondary hyperparathyroidism
    • Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
    • Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
    • Medications:
      • Lithium
      • Hydrochlorothiazide
    • Malignancy:
      • Parathyroid carcinoma
      • Multiple myeloma
      • Tumors producing PTH-related peptide:
        • Ovarian cancer
        • Lung cancer
      • Acute or chronic leukemia
    • Granulomatous diseases:
      • Sarcoidosis, histioplasmosis, tuberculosis
    • Thyrotoxicosis
    • Paget disease
    • Increased intake:
      • Milk-alkali syndrome
      • Vitamin A toxicity
      • Vitamin D toxicity
  • Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT):
    • Is caused by an inappropriate, autonomous  secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid gland(s):
      • Which leads to an elevated serum calcium concentration or wide variations of the serum calcium concentration
    • Single gland disease:
      • Caused by a single, enlarged, overactive gland, is found in 85% to 90% of cases
    • Multiple gland disease occurs in 10% to 15% of the cases:
      • Multiple gland disease may consist of:
        • Double adenomas (6% to 9% of the cases)
        • Four-gland hyperplasia (3% of the cases)
        • Three enlarged and one normal appearing gland (0.3% of the cases).
          • Because asymmetric hyperplasia is common, it is difficult to distinguish between multiple adenomas and hyperplasia and the term multiple gland disease is preferred
    • PHPT in the United States usually presents quite early:
      • Often when hypercalcemia is noted during routine laboratory testing
    • Signs may include:
      • Nephrolithiasis, decreased bone density, and fragility fractures, and subjective symptoms may include fatigue, cognitive changes, depression, constipation and other gastrointestinal complaints, musculoskeletal pain, nocturia, and rarely pruritus:
        • Many patients may appear asymptomatic:
          • A detailed history often uncovers symptoms:
            • 95% of the cases have symptoms when appropriate history is taken:
              • The recently revised guidelines for asymptomatic PHPT include a more extensive evaluation of the skeletal and renal systems
    • A family history of endocrine disorders should be investigated:
      • As hyperparathyroidism alone can be familial or can present as a component of multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) types 1 and 2A
