RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism, an autonomous hyperproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), has a challenge in its treatment. This study asked whether the intraoperative PTH and calcium drop can confirm the resection of all parathyroid tissues. STUDY DESIGN: Case series with planned data collection. SETTING: Tertiary referral medical center. SUBJECTS AND METHODS: The study assessed patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism who were treated at the Hospital of the State University of Campinas from 2007 to 2015. All patients underwent total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation of parathyroid fragments. PTH and calcium were collected during the preoperative period; at 10, 20, and 240 minutes after resection of the glands; and at 1 year after the procedure. Data were analyzed by analysis of variance and logistic regression analysis with statistical values of P < .05. RESULTS: Thirty-five patients were assessed: 17 women (48.57%) and 18 men (51.43%). The percentage of PTH drop was statistically significant at all times, unlike the calcium analysis, but only PTH collected at 20 minutes was able to confirm the removal of all parathyroid tissues (P = .029). Based on the receiver operating characteristic curve, the 71.2% drop obtained high sensitivity and specificity (P = .028). CONCLUSIONS: Treatment success can be predicted by analyzing the decrease of intraoperative PTH and not by calcium. The 71.2% PTH drop at 20 minutes after parathyroidectomy had high sensitivity and specificity to predict surgical cure.

ABSTRACT Objective: To define serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) reference values in carefully selected subjects following the recommended pre-analytical guidelines. Subjects and methods: First, 676 adults who would be submitted to thyroidectomy were evaluated. Patients using interfering medications or with malabsorption syndrome, hypomagnesemia, hyper- or hypophosphatemia, hypo- or hypercalcemia, 25-hydroxyvitamin D < 30 ng/dL, estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2, urinary calcium/creatinine ratio ≥ 0.25, thyroid dysfunction, parathyroid adenoma detected during surgery were excluded. The sample consisted of 312 subjects. Results: The median, minimum, maximum, and 2.5th and 97.5th percentiles of the PTH values obtained were 30, 7.2, 78, 10.1, and 52 pg/mL, respectively. Thus, the reference range was 10 to 52 pg/mL. PTH > 65 pg/mL, the upper limit of normal according to the manufacturer of the kit, was observed in only one subject (0.3%). Considering the upper limit proposed by the kit's manufacturer, 1/6 hypercalcemic patients and 4/8 normocalcemic patients with PHPT had normal PTH. Using the upper limit established in this study, only one normocalcemic patient had normal PTH. Thus, the sensitivity of PTH in detecting asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) using the values recommended by the kit and established in this study was 64% and 93%, respectively (50% versus 87.5% for normocalcemic PHPT). Conclusion: The upper reference limit of PTH obtained for a rigorously selected sample was 20% lower than that provided by the assay, which increased its sensitivity in detecting PHPT.

BACKGROUND: Secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT and THPT), are complications of chronic kidney disease (CKD), characterized by high levels of serum parathormone, hyperphosphatemia or hypercalcemia, respectively. If diet and pharmacological therapies fail, clinical practice guidelines suggest parathyroidectomy (PTX). Some studies have described its effectiveness and safety, but these have not included Mexican population. OBJECTIVE: To describe long-term effectiveness of PTX in Mexican patients with SHPT or THPT. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Observational and retrospective study of patients treated with PTX between 1995 and 2014 in a third level hospital in Mexico City. The analyses included the follow-up of medical treatment and biochemical assessment every three months during the first year, and the last evaluation. Permutation and chi square tests were used. RESULTS: The study included 27 patients (14 women). The follow-up mean was 39 months; 61.5% had SHPT. All biochemical parameters, except magnesium, were reduced in the first year of follow-up. In the long term, SHPT was controlled in 80% using PTH under a 300 pg/mL criterion, and 90% in patients with THPT using calcium criterion. Persistent hypocalcemia was present in 11.5% of cases. CONCLUSION: Mexican patients with SHPT and THPT could be successfully treated with surgery with low risk of hypocalcemia.
INTRODUCCIÓN: el hiperparatiroidismo secundario (SHPT) y terciario (THPT) son complicaciones de la enfermedad renal crónica (ERC), caracterizadas por elevación de hormona paratiroidea, hiperfosfatemia o hipercalcemia. Si la terapia nutricional y farmacológica fallan, se sugiere la paratiroidectomía (PTX). Los estudios de cohorte que han descrito su efectividad no incluyen a la población mexicana. OBJETIVO: describir la efectividad a largo plazo de la PTX en pacientes mexicanos con SHPT y THPT. MATERIAL Y MÉTODOS: estudio observacional, retrospectivo de pacientes tratados con PTX entre 1995 y 2014 en un hospital de tercer nivel de la Ciudad de México. Se registraron la terapia médica, la evaluación bioquímica, cada tres meses durante un año, y la última evaluación registrada. Se utilizaron pruebas de permutación y de chi cuadrada. RESULTADOS: se incluyeron 27 pacientes (14 mujeres). El seguimiento promedio fue de 39 meses; 61.5% tuvieron SHPT. Los parámetros bioquímicos, salvo el magnesio, disminuyeron durante el primer año postquirúrgico. A largo plazo, el SHPT fue controlado en 80%, con el criterio de la PTH menor de 300 pg/mL, y el THPT en el 90% con el criterio de normocalcemia. La hipocalcemia permanente estuvo presente en 11.5% de los casos. CONCLUSIÓN: los pacientes mexicanos con SHPT y THPT pueden ser tratados exitosamente mediante cirugía con bajo riesgo de hipocalcemia.

BACKGROUND: Roux-en-Y gastric bypass patients can experience changes in calcium metabolism and hyperparathyroidism secondary to vitamin D deficiency. AIM: To evaluate nutritional deficiencies related to the calcium metabolism of patients undergoing gastric bypass with a 10-year follow-up. METHOD: This is a longitudinal retrospective study of patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass at a multidisciplinary clinic located in the Brazilian southeast region. The study investigated the results of the following biochemical tests: serum calcium, ionized calcium, vitamin D, and parathormone (PTH). The generalized estimating equations (GEE) determined the nutritional deficiencies using a significance level of 5%. RESULTS: Among the patients who finished the study (120 months), 82.86% (n=29) had vitamin D deficiency, and 41.94% (n=13) had high PTH. Postoperative time had a significant effect on PTH (p=0.0059). The percentages of patients with vitamin D, serum calcium, and ionized calcium deficiencies did not change significantly over time. CONCLUSION: One of the outcomes was vitamin D deficiency associated with secondary hyperparathyroidism. These findings reaffirm the importance of monitoring the bone metabolism of patients submitted to Roux-en-Y gastric bypass. HEADINGS: Calcium deficiency. Vitamin D deficiency. Secondary hyperparathyroidism.

Resumo Racional: Pacientes submetidos ao bypass gástrico em Y-de-Roux, podem apresentar alterações do metabolismo do cálcio e hiperparatireoidismo secundário à deficiência de vitamina D. Objetivo: Avaliar as deficiências nutricionais relacionadas ao metabolismo do cálcio de pacientes submetidos à bypass gástrico em Y-de-Roux, com seguimento de 10 anos. Método: Um estudo retrospectivo longitudinal foi conduzido com pacientes submetidos à bypass gástrico em Y-de-Roux, em uma Clínica Multidisciplinar no Sudeste do Brasil. Investigou-se a frequência do acompanhamento médico e nutricional e os exames bioquímicos de cálcio sérico, cálcio iônico, vitamina D e paratormônio (PTH). Para a análise das deficiências nutricionais, foram utilizadas as Equações de Estimativas Generalizadas (EEG), com nível de significância de 5%. Resultados: Dos pacientes que permaneceram no estudo até o final (120 meses), 82,86% (29), apresentaram níveis de deficiência de vitamina D e 41,94% (13) apresentaram PTH elevado. O efeito do tempo foi significativo para o PTH (p=0,0059). Para a vitamina D, cálcio sérico e cálcio iônico, o percentual de deficiência manteve-se constante ao longo do tempo, sem diferença significativa entre os tempos. Conclusão: A deficiência de vitamina D, associada ao hiperparatireoidismo secundário, foi um desfecho encontrado. Tais achados reafirmam a importância do cuidado com o metabolismo ósseo, em pacientes submetidos à bypass gástrico em Y-de-Roux.

OBJECTIVE: To establish the impact the chronic kidney disease stage has in the native vitamin D levels in patients not undergoing dialysis treatment. METHODS: A study performed in Manizales, Colombia, a city located 2,200 meters above sea level, without important stational variations. Patients with 18 years of age or more, with chronic kidney disease stages 2 to 5 and not undergoing dialysis treatment were recruited for this study. Demographic and anthropometric variations were evaluated as well as solar exposure, CKD etiology and laboratory variables related to bone and mineral diseases. For each CKD clinical stage, correlations were evaluated for vitamin D levels, laboratory results for bone and mineral diseases, solar exposure and ethnicity. RESULTS: Three hundred thirty-three patients were evaluated with a median age of 71 years, most of them mestizo (71%), 173 were women. The main CKD etiology was hypertensive nephropathy (32.2%). 21.1% of patients had normal vitamin D levels, 70.1% were within insufficient range and 8.8% were in deficit. A negative correlation was found between the levels of vitamin 25 (OH) D and the values for: creatinine, phosphorous, calcium x phosphorous product, PTH, 24 hours urine protein and BMI. A positive relationship was found for calcium and albumin. Positive significant statistical correlation was found for vitamin 25(OH) D levels and solar exposure for stages 3b and 4 of CKD. CONCLUSIONS: It is common to find low levels of vitamin 25(OH) D in patients with CKD; these can contribute to the appearance of secondary hyperparathyroidism. OBJETIVO: Establecer el impacto del estadio clínico en los niveles de vitamina D nativa en pacientes con enfermedad renal crónica (ERC) sin diálisis. MÉTODOS: Estudio realizado en Manizales, Colombia, una ciudad tropical ubicada a 2,200 metros de altura sobre el nivel del mar, sin variaciones estacionales importantes a lo largo del año. Se incluyeron pacientes mayores de 18 años, con enfermedad renal crónica estadio 2 a 5 sin tratamiento dialítico. En ellos se evaluaron variables demográficas, antropométricas, grado de exposición solar, etiología de la enfermedad, y variables de laboratorio relacionadas con desórdenes óseos y minerales. Para cada estadío clínico se evaluó la correlación entre los niveles de vitamina D y los resultados de las pruebas de laboratorio relacionadas con desordenes óseos y minerales, exposición solar y etnia. RESULTADOS: Se evaluaron 331 pacientes, con una edad media de 71 años, la mayoría mestizos (71%), 173 mujeres. La principal etiología de ERC fue nefropatía hipertensiva (33.2%). El 21.1% de los pacientes tenían niveles normales de vitamina D, fueron insuficientes en 70.1% y 8.8% en déficit. Se detectó correlación negativa, entre los niveles de vitamina 25(OH)D y los valores de creatinina, fósforo, producto calcio x fósforo, PTH, proteínas en orina de 24 horas e IMC. Correlación positiva para el calcio y la albumina. Se encontró significancia estadística positiva entre los niveles de vitamina 25(OH)D y la exposición solar para los estadios 3b y 4. CONCLUSIONES: En pacientes con ERC es comun detectar bajos niveles de 25(OH)D, los cuales pueden contribuir a la generación de hiperparatiroidismo secundario.

The authors conducted a review of the major aspects of progression of knowledge about the surgical treatment of hyperparathyroidism. Through literature review, we analyzed articles on the history of the evolution of anatomical, physiological, pathological and surgical knowledge of the parathyroid glands. Because of their unique anatomical features, the parathyroid glands were the last of the endocrine glands to be discovered, which greatly hindered proper treatment until the first decades of the twentieth century. Technological developments in the last 30 years greatly facilitated the location of the glands and hyperparathyroidism surgery. However, an experienced and dedicated surgeon is still essential to the excellence of treatment. RESUMO Os autores fizeram uma revisão dos principais aspectos históricos da progressão do conhecimento sobre o tratamento cirúrgico do hiperparatireoidismo. Por meio de revisão bibliográfica, foram analisados artigos selecionados sobre a história da evolução do conhecimento anatômico, fisiológico, patológico e cirúrgico das glândulas paratireoides. Devido às suas características anatômicas peculiares, as paratireoides foram as últimas das glândulas endócrinas a serem descobertas, o que dificultou sobremaneira seu tratamento adequado até as primeiras décadas do Século XX. A evolução tecnológica ocorrida nos últimos 30 anos facilitou sobremaneira a localização das glândulas e a cirurgia do hiperparatireoidismo. Contudo, um cirurgião experiente e dedicado ao tratamento dessa enfermidade ainda é fundamental para a excelência do tratamento.

INTRODUCTION: Viral hepatitis B (VHB) represents a major public health problem. Studies from HIV multidrug patients have associated the use of tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF) with renal dysfunction and phosphate wasting. OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to examine the effect of year-long TDF monotherapy on renal function in VHB patients. PATIENTS AND METHODS: We evaluated adult patients diagnosed with VHB before treatment initiation (T0), and after 3 and 12 months (T3 and T12) of TDF initiation. Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was estimated by serum cystatin C and creatinine. In addition, urinary electrolytes and tubular biomarkers (cystatin C, ß2-microglobulin and neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin) were analyzed, as well as parathyroid hormone (PTH) and 25(OH)vitamin D levels. RESULTS: After 1 year, 32 patients completed the study, 22 (68.7%) men and 12 (37.5%) Whites, mean age 44.1±12.0 years. We found that serum electrolytes were similar at baseline and 3 or 12 months after initiation of TDF monotherapy. In addition, urinary fractional excretions of electrolytes as well as proteinuria, albuminuria, urinary ß2-microglobulin, and urinary cystatin C showed no significant differences across the treatment timeline. There were also no statistical differences in the eGFR. There was a statistically significant increase in the PTH (Friedman's test, P=0.012), but the 25(OH)vitamin D levels were in the normal range in the beginning and did not change at the follow-up. Moreover, there was no correlation between the initial levels of vitamin D and the corresponding increases in the PTH values. CONCLUSION: If used as monotherapy in hepatitis B patients for a 12-month period, TDF is not associated with changes in either eGFR or a panel of urinary biomarkers. Serum and urinary electrolytes also remained unchanged. Of note, a significant increase in the PTH was found, although not related to the 25(OH)vitamin D initial status.

Presentamos las características clínicas, bioquímicas y densitométricas de 35 pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo primario (HPP) normocalcémico, que se caracteriza por un nivel elevado de hormona paratiroidea intacta (PTHi) con el calcio sérico y iónico persistentemente normales, una vez descartadas posibles causas de hiperparatiroidismo secundario. Del total, 30 fueron mujeres (90%) y 5 varones (10%). Se seleccionó un grupo control de 55 pacientes con hiperparatiroidismo primario hipercalcémico: 51 mujeres (93%) y 4 varones (7%). El promedio de edad al diagnóstico de HPP normocalcémico fue de 61.4 ± 11.7 años y del HPP hipercalcémico de 56.4 ± 11.3 años. Además de las diferencias esperables de la calcemia, el calcio iónico, el fósforo y la calciuria de 24 horas, no encontramos cambios significativos en el resto de las variables bioquímicas. Tampoco encontramos diferencias en los valores densitométricos, la presencia de osteopenia u osteoporosis y el número de fracturas entre ambos tipos de HPP. Sí hubo una diferencia significativa en la presencia de litiasis renal entre el HPP normocalcémico (11.4%) vs el HPP clásico (49.1%), p < 0.0005, en parte vinculada a la presencia de hipercalciuria en el HPP clásico. Dos de los 35 pacientes con HPP normocalcémico evolucionaron al HPP hipercalcémico durante un seguimiento de 4 años. Nuestros resultados apoyan la hipótesis que el HPP normocalcémico podría ser una forma temprana del HPP clásico, teniendo ambos similares repercusiones clínicas a nivel renal y óseo.
This report shows our conclusions on the clinical, biochemical and densitometry characteristics of 35 normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) patients. This condition is defined by a high level of intact parathyroid hormone (iPTHI) with persistently normal serum and ionized calcium in the absence of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Our selection consisted of 30 women (90%) and 5 men (10%). The control group of 55 hypercalcemic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism included 51 women (93%) and 4 men (7%). The average age at diagnosis of normocalcemic PHPT was 61.4 ± 11.7 years and 56.4 ± 11.3 years in hypercalcemic PHPT. Besides the expected differences in serum calcium, ionized calcium, phosphorus and 24 h urinary calcium, we found no significant changes in other biochemical variables, and no differences in densitometry evaluations such as the presence of osteopenia or osteoporosis and the number of fractures in the two types of PHPT. But there was a significant difference in the presence of renal lithiasis between normocalcemic PHPT (11.4%) and clasic PHPT (49.1%) p < 0.0005, to some extent associated to the presence of hypercalciuria in classic PHPT. Two of the 35 patients with normocalcemic PHPT became classic hypercalcemic PHPT over a 4 year follow-up period. Our findings support the hypothesis that the normocalcemic PHPT could be an early stage of the classic PHPT, both having similar clinical effects to metabolic renal and bone levels.

Our selection consisted of 30 women (90%) and 5 men (10%). The control group of 55 hypercalcemic patients with primary hyperparathyroidism included 51 women (93%) and 4 men (7%). The average age at diagnosis of normocalcemic PHPT was 61.4 ± 11.7 years and 56.4 ± 11.3 years in hypercalcemic PHPT. Besides the expected differences in serum calcium, ionized calcium, phosphorus and 24 h urinary calcium, we found no significant changes in other biochemical variables, and no differences in densitometry evaluations such as the presence of osteopenia or osteoporosis and the number of fractures in the two types of PHPT. But there was a significant difference in the presence of renal lithiasis between normocalcemic PHPT (11.4%) and clasic PHPT (49.1%) p < 0.0005, to some extent associated to the presence of hypercalciuria in classic PHPT. Two of the 35 patients with normocalcemic PHPT became classic hypercalcemic PHPT over a 4 year follow-up period. Our findings support the hypothesis that the normocalcemic PHPT could be an early stage of the classic PHPT, both having similar clinical effects to metabolic renal and bone levels.

PURPOSE: To describe the clinical and radiologic features of orbital involvement in craniofacial brown tumors and to compare the rate of brown tumors in primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism. METHODS: A retrospective hospital-based study of 115 patients with chronic kidney disease and secondary hyperparathyroidism and 34 with primary hyperparathyroidism was conducted. Laboratory results such as serum levels of alkaline phosphatase, calcium, phosphorus, and parathyroid hormone were recorded. Demographic data (age, sex, duration of disease) and image findings (bone scan scintigraphy, skull and long bone x-rays, CT) were also obtained. The main outcome measures were analysis of clinical, biochemical, and radiologic findings of all patients. RESULTS: Of the 115 patients with chronic kidney disease, 10 (8.7%) had brown tumors in different bones of the skeleton. Five patients had lesions in the craniofacial bones. The maxilla, mandible, maxillary sinus, and nasal cavity were the most affected sites. The orbit was involved in 2 patients with lesions arising in the maxillary and ethmoid sinuses. One patient had facial leontiasis. All patients with brown tumors had extremely high levels of parathyroid hormone (>1,000 pg/ml, normal values 10-69 pg/ml) and alkaline phosphatase (>400 U/l, normal values 65-300 U/l). The mean serum levels of phosphorus and calcium were not abnormal among the patients with brown tumors. Age and time of renal failure were similar for patients with and without brown tumors. Among the patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, only 2 (5.8%) had brown tumors, and in just 1, the lesion was localized in the craniofacial skeleton. A 2-tailed Z test applied to compare the proportion of occurrence of brown tumors in the 2 groups revealed that the difference at the 90% of confidence level was not significant. CONCLUSIONS: Brown tumors are equally found in secondary and primary hyperparathyroidism. Craniofacial brown tumors involve the orbit, usually because of the osteodystrophy process that involves the maxilla and paranasal sinuses. The lesions do not necessarily need to be excised and may regress spontaneously after the control of hyperparathyroidism.

Background: The aim of the surgical treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is to achieve its complete cure, evidenced by normal serum calcium in the postoperative period. Measurement of intraoperative serum parathormone (PTH) can be useful to predict complete cure of the disease. Aim: To assess the usefulness of intraoperative PTH measurement to predict complete cure of PHPT Material and methods: Serum PTH was measured to all patients operated for PHPT between 2003 and 2008, before and five and ten minutes after the excision of the parathyroid gland causing the disease. The criteria for complete cure were normal serum calcium at 24 hours and 6 months after surgery and the pathological confirmation of parathyroid gland excision. Results: Eighty-eight operated patients, aged 58±15 years (72 females) were studied. Sixty four percent were asymptomatic and their preoperative serum calcium was 11.6± 1.2 mg/dl. A normal serum calcium was achieved in 86 patients (98 percent) at 24 hours and 50 of 52 patients followed for six months (96 percent). The pathological study disclosed an adenoma in 69 (78 percent), and multiglandular disease in 16 (18 percent), a parathyroid cancer in one and a normal gland in one patient. Intraoperative PTH predicted early and definitive cure in 97 percent and 100 percent of patients with a single adenoma, respectively. Among patients with multiglandular disease, the predictive figures were 94 percent and 100 percent, respectively. Conclusions: Intraoperative PTH measurement efficiently predicts early and definitive surgical cure of PHPT.

Primary hyperparathyroidism may occur as part of hereditary syndromes, including multiple endocrine neoplasia types 1 and 2A (MEN1 and MEN2A), hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome, and the familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP). It is unclear whether FIHP corresponds to a different genetic entity or a variant of MEN1 (or hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor syndrome). We report a patient and 11 family members with FIHP in whom we identified a heterozygous G-to-A mutation at nucleotide 7361 of tumor suppressor MEN1 gene. This mutation is located in the first base of intron 9 (IVS9 + 1 G>A). All the family members with hyperparathyroidism were heterozygous for the intronic mutation. In vitro studies were performed in COS cells transfected with minigenes carrying the coding regions spanning exon-intron 9 and 10 with the mutant and the wild-type sequences. RT-PCR analyses showed an abnormal mRNA of greater size (829 bp) in the mutated MEN1 gene than the normal transcript (629 bp). The longer PCR product includes the exon 9, the unspliced intron 9, and part of exon 10. RT-PCR of MEN1 mRNA from patient's blood confirmed the existence of unspliced intron 9 in mature mRNA. In summary, we report a case of FIHP associated with a new intronic heterozygous germline mutation (IVS9 + 1 G>A) of MEN1 gene. This mutation produces an aberrant splicing of mRNA that could lead to a truncated protein, without activity, explaining the clinical picture of this patient and his family.

Intraoperative parathyroid hormone (IO-PTH) measurements have been proposed to improve operative success rates in primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (PHP, SHP and THP). Thirty-one patients requiring parathyroidectomy were evaluated retrospectively from June 2000 to January 2002. Sixteen had PHP, 7 SHP and 8 THP. Serum samples were taken at times 0 (before resection), 10, 20 and 30 min after resection of each abnormal parathyroid gland. Samples from 28 patients were frozen at -70 C for subsequent tests, whereas samples from three patients were tested while surgery was being performed. IO-PTH was measured using the Elecsys immunochemiluminometric assay (Roche, Mannheim, Germany). The time necessary to perform the assay was 9 min. All samples had a second measurement taken by a conventional immunofluorimetric method. We considered as cured patients who presented normocalcemia in PHP and THP, and normal levels of PTH in SHP one month after surgery and who remained in this condition throughout the follow-up of 1 to 20 months. When rapid PTH assay was compared with a routine immunofluorimetric assay, excellent correlation was observed (r = 0.959, P < 0.0001). IO-PTH measurement showed a rapid average decline of 78.8% in PTH 10 min after adenoma resection in PHP and all patients were cured. SHP patients had an average IO-PTH decrease of 89% 30 min after total parathyroidectomy and cure was observed in 85.7%. THP showed an average IO-PTH decrease of 91.9%, and cure was obtained in 87.5% of patients. IO-PTH can be a useful tool that might improve the rate of successful treatment of PHP, SHP and THP.

In patients with uremia, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) measurement appears to overestimate the biologically active hormone in circulation. The recent description of the accumulation in these patients of a non-intact PTH form measured by the standard immunometric assays, re-opened the question. In this study we submitted serum samples from 7 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) and from 10 patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to chronic renal failure (SHP) to preparative HPLC in order to discriminate the molecular forms measured by our currently used immunofluorometric assay for intact PTH. The elution profile obtained with the HPLC system showed two clearly defined peaks, the first one corresponding to a lower molecular weight form, and the second to the intact PTH (1-84) form. In patients with SHP the area under the curve for the first peak (mean 29.5%, range 20.6 to 40.4%) was significantly greater than that observed for patients with PHP (mean 15.6%, range 5.6 to 21.9%). This confirms previous studies showing accumulation of molecular forms of slightly lower molecular weight, presumably PTH (7-84), in patients with SHP and, to a lesser extent, in patients with PHP. The real necessity of assays that discriminate between these two molecular forms is debatable.

BACKGROUND: Calcitriol is used to treat secondary hyperparathyroidism in dialysis patients. For similarly elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels, the PTH response to calcitriol treatment is believed to be better in hypocalcaemic dialysis patients than in dialysis patients with higher serum calcium values. Furthermore, few studies have evaluated the rapidity of the rebound in serum PTH values after prolonged treatment with calcitriol. Our goal was to evaluate (i) the PTH response to calcitriol treatment in hypocalcaemic haemodialysis patients, (ii) the rapidity of rebound in PTH after calcitriol treatment was stopped, and (iii) whether the effect of calcitriol treatment on PTH levels could be separated from those produced by changes in serum calcium and phosphate values. METHODS: Eight haemodialysis patients (29+/-3 years) with hypocalcaemia and hyperparathyroidism were treated thrice weekly with 2 microg of intravenous calcitriol and were dialysed with a 3.5 mEq/l calcium dialysate. Parathyroid function (PTH-calcium curve) was determined before and after 30 weeks of calcitriol treatment and 15 weeks after calcitriol treatment was stopped. RESULTS: Pretreatment PTH and ionized calcium values were 907+/-127 pg/ml and 3.89+/-0.12 mg/dl (normal, 4.52+/-0.07 mg/dl). During calcitriol treatment, one patient did not respond, but basal (predialysis) PTH values in the other seven patients decreased from 846+/-129 to 72+/-12 pg/ml, P<0.001 and in all seven patients, the decrease exceeded 85%. During the 15 weeks after calcitriol treatment was stopped, a slow rebound in basal PTH values in the seven patients was observed, 72+/-12 to 375+/-44 pg/ml. Covariance analysis was used to evaluate the three tests of parathyroid function (0, 30, and 45 weeks), and showed that calcitriol treatment was associated with reductions in maximal PTH values while reductions in basal PTH were affected by ionized calcium and serum phosphate. The basal/maximal PTH ratio and the set point of calcium were associated with changes in ionized calcium. CONCLUSIONS: In haemodialysis patients with hypocalcaemia, (i) moderate to severe hyperparathyroidism responded well to treatment with calcitriol, (ii) reductions in maximal PTH were calcitriol dependent while reductions in basal PTH were affected by the ionized calcium and serum phosphate concentrations, (iii) changes in the basal/maximal PTH ratio and the set point of calcium were calcium dependent, and (iv) the delayed rebound in basal PTH levels after withdrawal of calcitriol treatment may have been due to the long duration of treatment and the marked PTH suppression during treatment.
