We summarize the clinical presentation and pathophysiology of pseudogout following parathyroidectomy. We present a case of a 71-year-old woman who developed pseudogout following removal of a parathyroid adenoma. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Unilateral recurrent laryngeal nerve injury presents with postoperative hoarseness. Bilateral nerve injury is a rare but serious complication, resulting in aphonia and requiring immediate intubation. [openanesthesia.org]

• HELLP Syndrome

  CASE: A 27-year-old primigravida at 32+3 weeks' gestation had a serum calcium level in excess of 2.75 mmol/L and evidence of HELLP syndrome. She underwent concurrent parathyroidectomy and Caesarean section. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We present a review of the literature and discuss elements of the history and physical examination suggestive of occult CVS, with additional workup proposed for appropriate cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Workup for hyperparathyroidism includes an intact PTH level with a serum calcium level, 24 hour urine calcium, sestimibi-parathyroid scan, and ultrasound of the thyroid and parathyroid. Dr. Alfred Simental and Dr. Paul D. [medical-center.lomalindahealth.org]

This results in a workup to exclude a multitude of other causes of Hypercalcemia, and ensure the diagnosis is correct. A thorough history is obtained to exclude drug induced Hypercalcemia, or other medical conditions causing Hypercalcemia. [ent.uci.edu]

In my pre-surgical workup, I weighed 102 lbs, pretty standard for me. The surgery was necessary and beneficial, but I now weigh 135 lbs. This is more than I weighed when I was pregnant and overdue! [steadyhealth.com]

• Soft Tissue Calcification

  We believe that this is due to a decreased PTH level and decreasing bone turnover which resulted in more circulating calcium facilitating vascular and soft tissue calcification. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  We also noted muscular weakness (18 patients, 62.1%), pruritus (12 patients, 41.4%), high blood pressure (12 patients, 41.4%), soft tissue calcification (4 patients, 13.8%). [cyberleninka.org]

  2008/19/5/854/42479 Calciphylaxis is a rare, but serious disorder characterized by systemic medial calcification of the arteries those results in ischemic necrosis of skin and soft tissues. [sjkdt.org]

• Calcium Decreased

  Patient 4 received oral alendronate, 140 mg/week for six weeks; her calcium decreased from 13.7 to 12.3 mg/dL and her CTX from 2,160 to 1,340 pg/mL. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  By negative feed back, raised serum ionised calcium decreases PTH secretion to maintain adequate serum calcium levels [ 3 ]. [omicsonline.org]

  These compounds decrease glandular parathyroid hormone (PTH) 1 secretion by binding the calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR) and decreasing the threshold for activation of the receptor by calcium ( 8 )( 9 ). [clinchem.aaccjnls.org]

• Potassium Increased

  RESULTS: Serum potassium level increased in 108 patients after surgery (P CONCLUSIONS: Preoperative serum potassium increased after parathyroidectomy with autotransplantation in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The treatment of brown tumour is dependent on the treatment of the hyperparathyroidism. However, curettage should be considered if a large lesion is disturbing mastication. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Most microcarcinomas are slow growing and have a favorable prognosis. Lymph node metastasis caused by thyroid microcarcinoma is uncommon, and distant metastasis to lung or bone is even rarer. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiological factors and mechanisms underlying this condition, its consequences, and the possibility of treatment are the object of this study. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

No associated variations were identified, and the diagnosis remained persistent primary hyperparathyroidism of unknown etiology. [clinchem.aaccjnls.org]
