  • Title: Primary Hyperparathyroidism: Part One: Evaluation.
    Author: Kurtom S, Carty SE.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2024 Aug; 104(4):791-798. PubMed ID: 38944499.
    Abstract:
    Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder characterized by the autonomous overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH) that leads to hypercalcemia, multiple clinical sequelae, and heterogenous presentation. Whether PHPT is caused by a single benign adenoma (85%), multiglandular disease (15%), or parathyroid carcinoma (1%), surgery is the definitive treatment.
