Bir Graves Hastasında Primer Hiperparatiroidiye Bağlı Hiperkalsemi

Abstract

Hyperthyroidism is a hypermetabolic condition associated with excessive production of thyroid hormones by the thyroid gland. Thyroid hormones play an important role in bone and calcium metabolism. Mild to moderate hypercalcemia due to hyperthyroidism has been reported in approximately one in five patients. Hypercalcemia due to hyperthyroidism is associated with decreased or subnormal parathyroid hormone levels. The co-occurrence of hyperthyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism is rare. However, in patients with hyperthyroidism, it is necessary to evaluate the parathyroid glands if hypercalcemia persists after an euthyroid state is reached.Here, we report the case of a 30-year-old man with hypercalcemia who had Graves' disease and primary hyperparathyroidism and was successfully treated with combined thyroid and parathyroid surgery.
