Plasma parathyroid hormone (PTH) concentrations are commonly measured in the context
of CKD, as PTH concentration elevation is typical in this clinical context. Much has been …

Intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring (IPM) has been shown to be a useful adjunct
during parathyroidectomy to ensure operative success at many specialized medical centers …

Objective: The purpose of this study was to determine whether the operative approach
independently influenced recurrence and to identify perioperative predictors of recurrence …

Background The durability of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy (MIP) has been
questioned, and some advocate for routine open parathyroidectomy (OP). This study …

Background Persistent/recurrent hyperparathyroidism occurs in 2%-5% of patients with
sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). In this study, the incidence and time to …

Background Preoperative imaging in patients undergoing surgery for primary
hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is used primarily to facilitate targeted parathyroidectomy …

With an annual incidence of 21.6 per 100,000 persons in the United States, 1 primary
hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the most common cause of hypercalcemia due to …

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate long-term outcomes after focused
parathyroidectomy (FPTX) and open 4-gland parathyroid exploration (OPTX) for primary …

Hypothesis Focused parathyroidectomy guided by intraoperative parathyroid hormone
monitoring (IPM) may lead to higher failure rates because of missed multiglandular disease …

Background In total,∼ 15% of patients with sporadic primary hyperparathyroidism have
multiglandular disease, which may be suspected preoperatively but can only be confirmed …
