Abstract
INTRODUCTION Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHP), is generalized with calcium, phosphate and bone metabolism disorder due to increased PTH secretion. Increase in circulating hormone causes hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia. It’s common in fifth and sixth decades and female-male ratio is 3:1 (1). Nephrocalcinosis, recurrent peptic ulcers, mental changes, and more frequently generalized bone resorption may be observed. Nowadays, with the common measurement of blood calcium, it can be diagnosed with minimal or no symptoms. Cause of hyperparathyroidism is solitary adenoma in 80% of patients. More rarely parathyroid hyperplasia and parathyroid carcinomas are seen. Parathyroid hyperplasia is familial and usually associated with other endocrine abnormalities (2). In this study, we aimed to evaluate the clinical, radiological, biochemical parameters in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
