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 ...

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.

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.

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

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 ...

Parathyroidectomy within the first year after a primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) diagnosis wasn't much help for preserving kidney function in older adults, an observational study suggested ...

Parathyroidectomy was also associated a 41% decreased risk of cardiovascular mortality in studies including nearly 10,000 patients. Adverse events were inconsistently reported.

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.

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 ...

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 ...
