  A person may have hyperparathyroidism for many years with no symptoms or have symptoms such as kidney stones, bone thinning, nausea and vomiting, high blood pressure (hypertension), weakness, and fatigue. [endocrineweb.com]

  Hyperparathyroidism disrupts the normal balance of calcium in the blood, which can lead to kidney stones, thinning of the bones ( osteoporosis ), high blood pressure ( hypertension ), loss of appetite, nausea, weakness, fatigue, and depression. [en.wikipedia.org]

  HPT can cause weakened bones, pain, fatigue, and kidney stones; when associated with MEN1, HPT is more difficult to cure because all the parathyroid glands are affected by multiple tumors. [genome.gov]

  A 50-year-old woman was referred for further evaluation of elevated calcium levels and osteoporosis. Biochemical abnormalities included hypercalcemia with elevated parathyroid hormone. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  These symptoms can progress into further complications, such as muscle weakness, osteoporosis, kidney stones, mental and behavioural changes. [medic8.com]

  Hyperparathyroidism disrupts the normal balance of calcium in the blood, which can lead to kidney stones, thinning of the bones ( osteoporosis ), high blood pressure ( hypertension ), loss of appetite, nausea, weakness, fatigue, and depression. [en.wikipedia.org]

• Polyuria

  Common symptoms associated with hypercalcemia include polydipsia, polyuria, constipation, and generalized malaise. [emedicine.com]

  The need for frequent urination (polyuria). Blocked bowels or constipation. Fatigue. These symptoms can progress into further complications, such as muscle weakness, osteoporosis, kidney stones, mental and behavioural changes. [medic8.com]

  The commonest manifestation of this is increased thirst, followed by polyuria and nocturia. Increased urinary calcium loss also predisposes to renal stone formation and hence renal colic. [endobible.com]

• Headache

  Has the patient developed a new headache or neuralgia? Assess for red flag symptoms: headaches present on waking and worse on coughing or leaning forward are more suggestive of increased intracranial pressure. [endobible.com]

  Local tumor expansion may cause visual disturbance, headache, and hypopituitarism. Pituitary tumors in MEN 1 patients appear to be larger and behave more aggressively than sporadic pituitary tumors. [en.wikipedia.org]

Diagnosis [ edit ] In a diagnostic workup individuals with a combination of endocrine neoplasias suggestive of the MEN1 syndrome are recommended to have a mutational analysis of the MEN1 gene if additional diagnostic criteria are sufficiently met, mainly [en.wikipedia.org]

Nephrolithiasis was suspected and further workup was performed. [ispub.com]

• Nephrolithiasis

  On follow-up, hypercalcemia with high parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels was detected, associated with nephrolithiasis and low bone mineral density in the spine and hip. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Nephrolithiasis was suspected and further workup was performed. [ispub.com]

  Asymptomatic hypercalcemia is the most common manifestation: about 25% of patients have evidence of nephrolithiasis or nephrocalcinosis. [en.wikipedia.org]

  Clinical manifestations can include hypercalcemia, nephrolithiasis, and bone abnormalities (osteitis fibrosa cystica). Common symptoms associated with hypercalcemia include polydipsia, polyuria, constipation, and generalized malaise. [emedicine.com]

• Gastrin Increased

Treatment for prolactinomas in MEN1 should be no different as of isolated prolactinomas; initial medical therapy with dopamine agonists is the treatment of choice (1). [ispub.com]

The treatment of MEN1-associated adrenal tumors is similar to that for non-MEN1 adrenal tumors. [pancreas.imedpub.com]

The prognosis might improve by preclinical tumor diagnosis and appropriated treatment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although prognosis is stage dependent for patients with thymoma, patients with thymic carcinoids and MEN 1 have been reported to have an extremely poor prognosis, with many patients dying of complications from thymic carcinoid rather than dying of other [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

In addition, no etiological relationship between seminoma and MEN1 has yet been reported. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Authors previously reported that MEN1 mutations in such patients were etiologic factors for MEN1, but the present study is the first to demonstrate that these mutations are related to PC. [atlasofscience.org]

However, more research is required to investigate the etiology of the condition. MEN1 is inherited in an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern. [news-medical.net]

(Etiology) Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia Type 1 disorders are genetically inherited It is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means any parent with the abnormal gene can pass it on to their children - a single copy of the gene is sufficient [dovemed.com]
