Interpretation of intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring according to the Rome criterion in primary hyperparathyroidism
2022
AbstractIntraoperative parathyroid hormone dosage allows real-time monitoring of the decrease in PTH levels during parathyroidectomy and verify procedure’s efficacy. Currently, none of the interpretative criteria used has absolute accuracy. The aim of this study is to evaluate diagnostic accuracy of the Rome criterion verifying diagnostic significance of the individual assays. A total of 205 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism from a single adenoma were retrospectively evaluated and monitored with baseline PTH, PTH at 10 min and PTH at 20 min after adenoma excision. The accuracy of the latter two assays compared with baseline was compared by ROC curves. In addition, was evaluated the …
Intraoperative Parathyroid Hormone Monitoring During Parathyroidectomy for Hyperparathyroidism in Waiting List and Kidney Transplant Patients
2006
This report describes the use of the intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) assay during parathyroidectomy in waiting list and transplanted patients. ioPTH levels were determined in 40 patients on the waiting list for kidney transplantation with secondary hyperparathyroidism who underwent subtotal parathyroidectomy and 9 transplanted patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism who underwent removal of hyperplasic glands. Rapid PTH levels decreased significantly at each time period; the percentage decrease in rapid PTH levels was 61.3% among patients with IPT II and 70.2% in patients with IPT III at 10 minutes and 86.5% in patients with IPT II and 91% in patients with IPT III at 15 minute…
Comparison between Rapid Intraoperative and Central Laboratory Parathormone Dosage in 12 Kidney Transplant Candidates
2016
Abstract Background The rapid intraoperative parathormone (PTH) and at central laboratory PTH dosage gives similar results. The central laboratory provides results in longer times and higher costs. Intraoperative measurement can reduce time and costs during parathyroidectomy. Methods Twelve patients undergoing parathyroidectomy for hyperparathyroidism renal transplant candidates were included. Diagnosis was made by laboratory tests (serum calcium, PTH) and imaging techniques (ultrasonography and scintigraphy). All patients presented PTH levels of >400 pg/mL (the limit value to be maintained in list for kidney transplantation) and resistant to medical therapy. For each patient, 2 blood sampl…
Use of monitoring intraoperative parathyroid hormone during parathyroidectomy in patients on waiting list for renal transplantation.
2007
This report describes the use of intraoperative parathyroid hormone (ioPTH) assay during parathyroidectomy for patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism on the waiting list for renal transplantation. The levels of ioPTH were determined among waiting list patients undergoing subtotal parathyroidectomy and tertiary hyperparathyroidism patients undergoing procedures. The levels of ioPTH were significantly reduced at 10 minutes by 59.7,3% among with secondary hyperparathyroidism and 68.9% among tertiary hyperparathyroidism. A 15 minutes it was 85% in secondary hyperparathyroidism and 89.7% in tertiary hyperparathyroidism. A decrement of 50% in basal values at 10 minutes and 85% decrement or m…
A complex case of fatal calciphylaxis in a female patient with hyperparathyroidism secondary to end stage renal disease of graft and coexistence of h…
2012
Background: Calciphylaxis is a potentially fatal complication of persistent secondary hyperparathyroidism; its cause is still not clear. Unfortunately there is no close relation in severity of clinical picture, serological and pathological alteration. For this reason the prognosis is difficult to establish. Administration of sodium thiosulphate may reduce the precipitation of calcium crystals and improve the general clinical conditions before surgical parathyroidectomy, which seems the only therapeutic approach able to reduce the mortality risk in these patients. Methods and Results: A 60 year old female patient suffering from End Renal Stage Disease, on haemodialysis from 2001 due to the o…
Mapping the centers performing endocrine neck surgery in Italy
2020
Background. Quality of care and provider’s experience seem to be strictly connected in any field of surgery. Aim of this study is to identify a method to classify the centers on the basis of the number of thyroidectomies and parathyroidectomies performed. Methods. We listed 666 centers performing endocrine neck surgery in 2015, from the database of the Italian Health Ministry. We performed a descriptive statistic analysis with a dedicated software. We identified the outliers, according to a previous literature review, in those centers performing >1000 and < 10 thyroidectomies, >100 and < 3 parathyroidectomies and we excluded them to our analysis. The remaining centers were group…
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism: a review
2021
Abstract: Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (HPT III) occurs when an excess of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is secreted by parathyroid glands, usually after longstanding secondary hyperparathyroidism. Some authorities reserve the term for secondary hyperparathyroidism that persists after successful renal transplantation. Long-standing chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with several metabolic disturbances that lead to increased secretion of PTH, including hyperphosphatemia, calcit-riol deficiency, and hypocalcaemia. Hyperphosphatemia has a direct stimulatory effect on the parathyroid gland cell resulting in nodular hyperplasia and increased PTH secretion. Prolonged hypocalcaemia also causes …

Evaluation of the value of gradients for intact parathyroid hormone after total parathyroidectomy and heterotopic autotransplantation for renal hyperparathyroidism.Prospective long-term follow-up study.Teaching hospital, Germany.A total of 115 patients operated on for renal hyperparathyroidism between 1 August 1987 to 15 August 1997.100/115 had total parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation.Analyses of serum calcium, alkaline phosphatase, and intact parathormone in serum 1, 4, 8, 12, 18 and 24 months postoperatively and annually thereafter. Parathormone gradients were calculated as the ratio of the parathormone concentrations in the antecubital venous blood of the grafted and the non-graf…

The intraoperative use of the mini-gamma camera(MGC) in the surgical treatment of primary hyperpathyroidism.Technical reports and immediate results from the initial experience INTRODUCTION: The treatment of primary hyperparathyroidism consists almost exclusively in the parathyroidectomy. The preoperative imaging (ultrasonography, 99mTc sestamibi scan) can allow to localize the pathologic gland and perform minimally-invasive focused techniques, but in presence of ectopic or intrathyroidal glands, parathyroid hyperplasia or coexistent thyroid disease,the sensitivity of these imaging techniques worsens. The present study shows a new technique of preoperative scintigraphic imaging and describes…
