Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism: From pathophysiology to clinical management.

Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT), a variant of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) characterized by persistently elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and normal serum calcium, has gained recognition as a substantial subset of PHPT cases. Despite its increasing prevalence, the precise pathophysiology and natural progression of NPHPT remain enigmatic. This in-depth literature review explores recent advancements in our understanding of NPHPT, encompassing pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, medical and surgical management options. By synthesizing this wealth of information, this review aims to contribute to a more nuanced and informed approach to the treatment of patients grappling with NPHPT. As our understanding of the condition continues to evolve, the knowledge gathered from this review has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of care and outcomes for individuals afflicted with NPHPT, ultimately improving their overall well-being and prognosis.
