Parathyroidectomy had no significant impact on long-term kidney function among older adults with primary hyperparathyroidism, but if done early, it could preserve function in those aged younger ...

After 50 patients, newly diagnosed with PHPT, underwent parathyroidectomy, serum intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels returned to the normal range within 3 months (115.6±38.9 to 42.6±24.5 pg ...

In women with primary hyperparathyroidism, parathyroidectomy increases skeletal muscle strength and volume and triggers gene expression changes that resemble those seen after an exercise regimen.

In a retrospective cohort study of 3008 patients (2749 on hemodialysis and 259 on peritoneal dialysis) using US Renal Data System data from 2015 to 2018, Mark D. Danese, PhD, MHS, of Outcomes ...

Parathyroidectomy vs nonsurgical management is associated with reduced long-term risk for both fractures and chronic kidney disease (CKD) among patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, according ...

Parathyroid hormone levels decreased only in the surgery group from baseline to 10 years (mean difference, –4.64 pmol/L; P < .001), with no difference in the observation group.

Incidence of new-onset depression was no lower for adults with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) treated with early parathyroidectomy compared with nonoperative management, observational Veterans ...

Parathyroid hormone levels measured 6 hours after total thyroidectomy may help predict the risk of developing transient ...

However, early parathyroidectomy may preserve kidney function in patients younger than 60 years of age with primary hyperparathyroidism. The study is published in Annals of Internal Medicine.

Parathyroid hormone is stored and secreted mainly as an 84-amino-acid peptide. 1 A synthetic amino-terminal fragment, parathyroid hormone (1–34), is fully active; modifications at the amino ...
