HIGH CLINICAL SUSPICION IS REQUIRED TO DIAGNOSE HYPER PARATHYROIDISM
Journal Title: Journal of Evidence Based Medicine and Healthcare - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 10
Abstract
INTRODUCTION Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (elevated parathyroid hormone-PTH) generally have nonspecific complaints. The calcium levels may be normal. Due to these vague complaints, patient diagnosis is often delayed and patient gets treated symptomatically for these complaints. Hence, a high degree of suspicion is required to diagnose by the treating physician. We report a case of right inferior parathyroid adenoma with primary hyperparathyroidism presenting with elevated PTH with normal calcium level and vague complaints, being treated initially by physician for vague nonspecific complaints.
