Persistence of hypercalciuria after successful surgical treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) causes hypercalciuria and stone disease in a subset of patients. Hypercalciuria typically normalizes after surgery, although the risk of stone formation may persist up to 10 years. There are few reports in the literature that show persistent hypercalciuria despite...

Description
Summary:Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) causes hypercalciuria and stone disease in a subset of patients. Hypercalciuria typically normalizes after surgery, although the risk of stone formation may persist up to 10 years. There are few reports in the literature that show persistent hypercalciuria despite normalization of serum calcium after parathyroid surgery. We retrospectively analyzed 111 patients with PHPT from the osteoporosis, and stone clinics seen between 1999 and 2006. We selected only patients who had a complete metabolic profile that included 24-hour collections before and at least 3 months after parathyroidectomy. We excluded patients who had creatinine clearance
