Spectrum of hyperparathyroidism - 07/10/17
Abstract |
A new classification of hyperparathyroidism is proposed, based on data obtained by immunoassay of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The customary modifiers “primary,” “secondary” and “tertiary” are avoided because they no longer have precise meaning. The frequency of transition from one form of hyperparathyroidism to another is described as maladaptation to a variety of possible stimulators of PTH secretion. The need for clinical research focused on the antecedents of hypercalcemia is stressed.
