BACKGROUND: Normocalcaemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) is often under-recognised in clinical practice.
AIM: To determine the prevalence and clinical significance of NPHPT in an unselected sample in an acute hospital setting.
METHODS: Patients aged >18 years who had measurement of an elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH ≥ 7 pmol/L) during 12 months from 1 January 2017 to 31 December 2017 were retrospectively studied. NPHPT was defined by the presence of elevated serum PTH with normal albumin-corrected serum calcium on two or more occasions after excluding secondary causes. Patients were followed up for 2 years. Relevant data were collected by review of electronic medical records.
RESULTS: Of the 2593 patients who had PTH measured during the study period, 1278 had serum PTH ≥ 7 pmol/L. Hypercalcaemic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) was diagnosed in 174 patients. Secondary causes for elevated serum PTH were identified in 993 patients: 815 (chronic kidney disease - estimated glomerular filtration rate < 60 mL/min/1.73 m2 or renal transplant), 98 (vitamin D deficiency - 25(OH)D < 50 nmol/L), 28 (gastric bypass surgery), 38 (medications), 13 (malabsorption or post-thyroidectomy) and 1 (hypercalciuria). Data were incomplete for 80 patients. The prevalence of NPHPT with and without the exclusion of hypercalciuria was 0.19% (5) and 0.39% (10) respectively. The prevalence of nephrolithiasis in NPHPT was higher than PHPT (100% vs 15% among five patients (P < 0.001) and 50% vs 15% among 10 patients (P = 0.014)). The prevalence of osteoporosis was not significantly different between NPHPT and PHPT (20% vs 45% among five patients (P = 0.389) and 30% vs 45% among 10 patients (P = 0.518)).
CONCLUSION: These findings give further credence to the diagnosis of NPHPT as a clinical entity. Nephrolithiasis may be a greater problem than osteoporosis in NPHPT compared with PHPT. This needs prospective evaluation.
