About Hyperparathyroidism

Hyperparathyroidism is a condition where one or more of the parathyroid glands become overactive, producing excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH). This leads to elevated calcium levels in the blood, a condition known as hypercalcemia. An endocrinologist manages this disorder through a comprehensive approach that includes diagnosis, medical management, and, when necessary, coordination for surgical intervention. The primary goal is to normalize calcium and PTH levels to prevent complications such as osteoporosis, kidney stones, cardiovascular issues, and neurological symptoms. Treatment strategies are tailored to the underlying cause, primary, secondary, or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, and the patient's overall health.

Who is this surgery for?

  • Persistently elevated blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia).
  • High levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in blood tests.
  • Development of osteoporosis or frequent bone fractures.
  • History of kidney stones or impaired kidney function.
  • Symptoms such as fatigue, depression, bone and joint pain, abdominal pain, or excessive urination.
  • Findings of a parathyroid adenoma, hyperplasia, or carcinoma on imaging.
  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism due to chronic kidney disease or severe vitamin D deficiency.

How to prepare

  • Comprehensive blood tests to measure calcium, PTH, vitamin D, and kidney function.
  • Imaging studies such as a Sestamibi scan, ultrasound, or 4D-CT to locate abnormal glands.
  • Bone density scan (DEXA) to assess osteoporosis risk.
  • Review of all current medications and supplements with the endocrinologist.
  • For surgical cases, pre-operative anesthesia evaluation and clearance.
  • Fasting instructions if surgery is planned.
  • Discussion of medical history, including any kidney or heart conditions.

Risks & possible complications

  • For medical management: Side effects from medications like cinacalcet (nausea) or bisphosphonates.
  • For surgical treatment (parathyroidectomy): Risks of anesthesia, bleeding, or infection.
  • Potential damage to the recurrent laryngeal nerve, affecting voice.
  • Temporary or permanent hypoparathyroidism, leading to low calcium levels (hypocalcemia).
  • Incomplete removal of overactive tissue, requiring re-operation.
  • Scarring at the incision site.
  • Persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism.

Recovery & hospital stay

  • Post-surgery, monitoring of calcium and PTH levels is critical, often requiring a short hospital stay.
  • Patients may need calcium and vitamin D supplements temporarily or long-term.
  • Pain at the incision site is managed with prescribed medications.
  • Avoid strenuous activity and heavy lifting for 1-2 weeks post-surgery.
  • Regular follow-up blood tests to ensure calcium levels remain stable.
  • Gradual return to normal diet and activities as advised.
  • Long-term monitoring of bone density and kidney function.
  • checked Typical hospital stay: 1-3 days
  • checked Expected recovery time: 1-2 weeks for initial recovery; 4-6 weeks for full activity
