Assessment of phospho-calcic metabolism in parathyroid tumors

Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common hormonal disorder, third in the order of importance after diabetes and hyperthyroidism. The aim of this study is to quantify qualitatively and quantitatively the effects of parathyroid hormone hypersecretion in a group of patients diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. The study, was conducted on 200 patients with hyperparathyroidism, admitted in St. Spiridon Emergency Clinical Hospital in Iasi. In the study, we noted that primary hyperparathyroidism is three times more common in women than in males, being twice as many cases in patients older than 55 years as among the youngest. The most common forms are based on genetic determinism or are associated with other endocrinopathies. The obtained results encourage us to continue the research and, at the same time, we must point out that there is a high percentage of undiagnosed people among the apparently healthy population.
