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]

Histology of the lesions revealed that the patient was in fact suffering from amyloidosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Initially, severe hypocalcemia (corrected Ca: 4.8-5.6mg/dL; nadir ionized Ca: 0.57-0.69mmol/L) was attributed solely to medical noncompliance with oral Ca carbonate (3750mg, 3 /day between meals) and calcitriol (2-4mcg/day). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Our patient is a 16-yr-old male presenting with gross hematuria, left flank pain, and right foot pain. A biochemical evaluation revealed hypercalcemia and elevated parathyroid hormone levels. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Postoperatively, she demonstrated symptoms and signs of serotonin syndrome; specifically tachycardia, agitation, dystonia and abnormal eye movements. These clinical findings spontaneously resolved themselves over the subsequent 48 hr. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

On the first post-operative day, she complained of left elbow painful swelling with redness and warmth. Arthrocentesis of left elbow was done due to suspicion of septic arthritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Her left elbow swelling and pain resolved. Pseudogout flare is a rare but known sequelae after parathyroidectomy. Early recognition and expeditious treatment is essential. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Although rare, chylomas can present as a neck mass, especially in the post-operative setting. Here, we present a case of a persistent cervical chyloma following parathyroidectomy and propose a management algorithm for this clinical entity. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The patient had a background of obsessive compulsive disorder treated with paroxetine. Postoperatively, she demonstrated symptoms and signs of serotonin syndrome; specifically tachycardia, agitation, dystonia and abnormal eye movements. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The lengths of stay for patients experiencing post-operative altered mental status (18.7d), post-operative infection (15.5d), respiratory complications (19d), and cardiac complications (13d) were significantly increased compared to individuals without [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Postoperatively, she demonstrated symptoms and signs of serotonin syndrome; specifically tachycardia, agitation, dystonia and abnormal eye movements. These clinical findings spontaneously resolved themselves over the subsequent 48 hr. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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]

Calcimimetics not only control serum calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone in patients with calciphylaxis secondary to hyperparathyroidism, but also help in regression of soft tissue calcification. [sjkdt.org]

Other past medical history included atrial fibrillation, type II diabetes mellitus, hypertension, gout, pericardial effusion needing pericardial window, deep vein thrombosis, mitral insufficiency, and cardiomyopathy with implantable cardioversion device [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Patient 1 received oral alendronate, 30 mg/day for four weeks; his calcium decreased from 14 to 11.6 mg/dL, and his UDPD from 342 to 160 nmol/mmol Cr. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

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

After 4 weeks of cinacalcet HCl therapy in our patient, predose calcium decreased by 0.15 mmol/L. [clinchem.aaccjnls.org]

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]
