Nephrolithiasis in hypercalcemic and normocalcemic primary Hyperparathyroidism
Journal Title: Archives of Renal Diseases and Management - Year 2017, Vol 3, Issue 1
Abstract
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common condition affecting up to 4 per 1000 of population, and the majority of cases are due to adenoma or hyperplasia of the gland [1]. This endocrine disorder may either develop without symptoms or be classically manifested by anorexia, nausea, constipation, polydipsia and polyuria in association with hypercalcemia [1]. Worthy of note is the form of PHPT described in 2009 and characterized by normocalcemia, which persists with hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis and bone loss in the majority of the cases1.
