PARATHYROID GLAND DISEASES
Primary hyperparathyroidism Hypoparathyroidism
Causes of hypercalcemia
Primary hyperparathyroidism:
sporadic, associated with MEN 1 or MEN 2a, familial, after renal transplantation
Secondary, tertiary hyperparathyroidism Malignancies:
humoral hypercalcemia (caused by PTHrP, 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 , PTH), local osteolytic hypercalcemia
Sarcoidosis Endocrinopathies:
thyrotoxicosis, adrenal insufficiency, pheochromocytoma, acromegaly
Drug induced:
vitamin A, D intoxication, thiazides, lithium,milk-alkali syndrome, estrogens, androgens, tamoxifen
Immobilization Acute renal failure
P-HPTH
Common, usually asymptomatic disorder 2-3fold commoner in females than in males Incidence approx. 42 per 100,000 inhibitants/year Single parathyroid adenoma – ca. 80%, parathyroid hyperplasia – ca. 15%, parathyroid carcinoma – 1-2%
Defense mechanism against hypercalcemia
Hypercalcaemia
supression of PTH secretion
bone resorption renal production of 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 calcium resorption from intestine urinary calcium loss
„Stones”
Renal stones Nephrocalcinosis Polyuria Polydipsia Uraemia
„Bones”
Osteitis fibrosa with: subperiosteal resorption - osteoclastomas - bone cysts Radiologic „osteoporosis” Osteomalacia or rickets Arthrithis
„Abdominal groans”
Constipation
„Psychic moans”
Peptic ulcer Pancreatitis
& symptoms
Lethargy, fatigue Depression Memory loss
Other
Psychoses – paranoia Personality change, Proximal muscle weakness neuroses Keratitis, conjunctivitis Confusion, stupor, coma Hypertension Itching
Hyperparathyroid bone disease
Osteitis fibrosa cystica (< 10% of patients) Pain , pathologic fractures AlP Cystic lesions containing fibrous tissue („
brown tumours
”) or cyst fluid Subperiosteal resorption of cortical bone, „salt-and-pepper” appearance of the skull Secondary osteoporosis (loss of cortical bone)
Hyperparathyroid kidney disease
Kidney stones (< 15% of patients) Nephrocalcinosis Polidypsia, poliuria (loss of renal concentration ability) Gradual loss of renal function
Other features of P-HPTH
Lethargy, fatigue, depression, difficulty in concentrating, personality changes Frank psychosis Muscle weakness Hypertension Dyspepsia, nausea, constipation Chondrocalcinosis („pseudogout”), gouty arthritis
Laboratory findings in P-HPTH
total Ca s (may be intermittent), P u intactPTH (may be upper normal) Ca u , P s , hyperchloremic acidosis GFR Ca s 2.25-2.75 mmol/l, Ca u < 4 mg/kg/24 h (<250 mg/24 h in women, < 300 mg/24 h in men) P s 3.0-4.5 mg% (1.0-1.5 mmol/l), P u mg/24 h 400-1400
Treatment of P-HPTH
The adenoma may be located throughout the neck or upper mediastinum
„The only localization study needed in a patients with hyperparathyroidism is to locate an experienced parathyroid surgeon”
Surgical parathyroidectomy cure rate over 95% (adenoma + excellent surgeon) Localization studies are very useful in reoperative parathyroid surgery: neck ultrasound, 99m Tc sestamibi scanning, CT, MRI (rarely angiography, venous sampling)
Treatment of P-HPTH (II)
No definitive therapy for hyperparathyroidism Estrogen replacement therapy in postmenopausal women Management of hypercalcaemia: rehydrating with saline, furosemide, calcitonin
s.c
. (4-8 IU/kg every 12 hrs.), bisphosponates (etidronate disodium, pamidronate disodium), glucocorticoids
p.o.
(in multiple myeloma, sarcoidosis, intoxication with vitamin D or A).
1990 NIH Consensus Development Conference Surgery should be recommended if:
1) 2) serum Ca is markedly elevated (above 2.8-3.0 mmol/l) if there has been a previous episode of life threatening hypercalcemia 3) 4) 5) 6) 7) if creatinine clearance is reduced below 70% of normal if a kidney stone is present if urinary calcium is markedly elevated (> 400 mg/24 h) if bone mass is substantially reduced (less than 2 SD below normal for age, sex, and race) if the patient is young (under 50 years of age, particularly premenopausal women)
Causes of hypocalcemia
Hypoparathyroidism: surgical
, idiopathic, neonatal, familial, postradiation, infiltrative
Resistance to PTH action:
pseudohypoparathyroidism, renal insufficiency, medications that block osteoclastic bone resorption (calcitonin, bisphosphonates)
Failure to produce 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 :
vitamin D deficiency, hereditary vitamin D-dependent rickets, type 1 (1 -hydroxylase deficiency)
Resistance to produce 1,25(OH) 2 D 3 :
hereditary vitamin D-dependent rickets, type 2 (defective VDR)
Acute complexation or deposition of calcium:
acute hyperphosphatemia (crush injury, rapid tumour lysis, excessive enteral and parenteral phosphate administration), acute pancreatitis, citrated blood transfusion, hungry bones syndrome
Clinical features of hypocalcemia
Neuromuscular manifestations: overt tetany:
carpopedal spasm, painful; laryngospasmus, blepharospasmus
latent tetany:
Chvostek’s sign, Trousseau’s sign
focal or generalized seizures, papilledema, confusion, organic brain syndrome, mental retardation in children, calcification of basal ganglia
(skull X-ray, CT)
Cardiac effects:
prolongation of QT interval, congestive heart failure
Ophtalmologic effects:
subcapsular cataract
Dermatologic effects:
dry and flaky skin, brittle nails, impetigo herpetiformis, pustular psoriasis
Hypoparathyroidism
Surgical, autoimmune, idiopathic, familial Ca s , P s , low or undetectable intact PTH level
Surgical
– ensues 1-2 days postoperatively, transient in 50% of cases
Autoimmune
syndrome) – most commonly associated with Addison’s disease and mucocutaneous candidiasis (type I polyglandular autoimmune
Idiopathic
– an isolated form, age of onset 2-10 years, commoner in females
Familial
– due to activating mutation of the parathyroid calcium receptor gene
Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP)
A heritable disorder of target-organ unresponsineness to PTH (Ellsworth-Howard test: lack of an increase in urinary cAMP after administration of exogenous PTH) Hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, but elevated PTH level and a markedly blunted response to PTH administration 2 distinct forms: PHP 1A – characteristic somatic phenotype, i.e. Albright’s hereditary osteodystrophy (short stature, a round face, short neck, brachydactyly, subcutaneous ossifications) PHP 1B – no characteristic somatic phenotype
Treatment of hypocalcemia
Acute hypocalcemia:
calcium chloride or gluconate
i.v
. (up to 400-1000 mg/24 h), oral calcium and vitamin D should be started (caution: digitalis treatment, stridor)
Chronic hypocalcemia:
objective: normalisation of serum calcium and phospate 1.0-2.0 g of elemental calcium
p.o.
per day, vitamin D 3 , active metabolites: alfacalcidol (1 [OH]D 3 ), calcitriol (1 ,25[OH] 2 D 3 ), low phosphate diet (no milk)
