17 Μαΐ 2022 · In primary hyperparathyroidism, an enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands causes overproduction of parathyroid hormone. This causes high calcium levels in the blood, which can cause a variety of health problems. Surgery is the most common treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism.
Primary hyperparathyroidism (or PHPT) is a medical condition where the parathyroid gland (or a benign tumor within it) produce excess amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
8 Απρ 2024 · Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is an endocrine disorder in which autonomous overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) results in derangement of calcium metabolism.
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disorder of the parathyroid glands, four pea-sized glands located on or near the thyroid gland in the neck. “Primary” means this disorder begins in the parathyroid glands, rather than resulting from another health problem such as kidney failure.
30 Αυγ 2024 · Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is often recognized as a result of biochemical screening or during evaluation for decreased bone mass. Most patients with PHPT have serum calcium concentrations within 1 to 1.5 mg/dL (0.25 to 0.375 mmol/L) above the upper limit of normal with an elevated or inappropriately normal parathyroid hormone (PTH) level.
23 Μαΐ 2019 · This guideline covers diagnosing, assessing and managing primary hyperparathyroidism. It aims to improve recognition and treatment of this condition, reducing long‑term complications and improving quality of life.
24 Ιαν 2022 · Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), one of the most common hormonal disorders, is a condition in which one (or more) of the body's parathyroid glands produces too much parathyroid hormone and releases it in the bloodstream, often leading to high calcium levels.
28 Σεπ 2023 · The diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is usually made by finding a PTH concentration that is frankly elevated or within the normal range but inappropriately normal given the patient's hypercalcemia (figure 1). The diagnosis, differential diagnosis, and evaluation of PHPT will be discussed here.

In most cases, elevated calcium is found by blood tests ordered for other reasons. For example, routine blood work or testing to figure out the cause of symptoms of another condition.
In Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT or Hyperpara), too much parathyroid hormone is produced by one or more of the parathyroid glands because they have become enlarged or overactive. This in turn causes the body to release calcium from the bones into the blood and results in high calcium levels (hypercalcaemia).
