Transient Rise in Intact Parathyroid Hormone Concentration after Surgery for Parathyroid Adenoma

Abstract: OBJECTIVE: Our goal was to describe the course of parathyroid hormone (PTH) after surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). PTH levels drop to low values after parathyroidectomy for PHPT. However, in some patients, a rebound transient increase in PTH concentrations can occur. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING: A prospective study included 72 patients who underwent surgical exploration for PHPT. A single adenoma was found in 57 patients (79.1%), 2 adenomas were found in 2 (2.7%), and parathyroid h… Show more

“…Some authors followed patients for 1 to 2 years and noted that calcium and PTH were often elevated immediately after surgery with PTH remaining elevated for weeks to months afterward, depending on the preoperative clinical levels 55–59 . When patients had very high levels of PTH/Ca before surgery and had significant objective sequelae of pHPT such as ostepenia/osteoporosis and BUN/Cr changes, they took a significant longer time to normalize their PTH postoperatively than patients with mild or even asymptomatic pHPT 60 .…”

“…Longterm hypercalcemic suppression of non-adenomatous parathyroid tissue causes the remaining parathyroid tissue to be unable to respond when calcium levels must be abruptly controlled postoperatively [4]. During this time, a decline in serum calcium can be observed [5].…”
