Parathyroidectomy
Primary hyperparathyroidism not tied to lower pregnancy rates, worse outcomes for women
Women with primary hyperparathyroidism have similar pregnancy rates, maternal outcomes and neonatal outcomes as those without primary hyperparathyroidism, according to study data.
Fracture rates decline for adults who undergo surgery for hyperparathyroidism
Adults who undergo surgery to treat hyperparathyroidism have similar rates of fracture after surgery as healthy controls, according to data published in The Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism.
Parathyroidectomy may preserve kidney function in some patients with hyperparathyroidism
Parathyroidectomy had no significant impact on long-term kidney function among older adults with primary hyperparathyroidism, but if done early, it could preserve function in those aged younger than 60, according to researchers.
Parathyroidectomy does not lower fracture rates for adults with mild hyperparathyroidism
Adults with mild hyperparathyroidism who underwent a parathyroidectomy did not have a difference in fracture events at 10 years compared with adults who did not undergo surgery, according to study data.
