Hiperparatiroidismo

Abstract

The following thesis project was presented with the modality of clinical case of a female patient of 33 years of age, who attended the outpatient clinic due to the presence of clamping hands, palpitations and cold sensations, in the entrance exams observed high calcium and PTH values, which leads to possible hyperparathyroidism. A second blood sample is taken for a correct analysis prior to a dietary restriction of exogenous calcium-phosphorus sources, which results in an increased PTH, a normal calcium with a vitamin D level with a moderate deficit, and drift to give treatment with the aforementioned vitamin, time later he was sent to do the TEC-MIBI scintigraphy so they appreciate areas of uptake in the parathyroid gland giving the definitive diagnosis of a primary hyperparathyroidism, whose treatment to follow is the surgical resolution. Hyperparathyroidism is a pathology characterized by an excess in the production of PTH, it can be primary, secondary and tertiary; Its main symptomatology is presented at the level of the nervous, cardiovascular, musculoskeletal and renal systems, among others. For its diagnosis, it is necessary to quantify PHT, calcium and phosphorus in blood and urine in addition to imaging tests. As for the treatment for this pathology is the surgical resolution that through this will lead us to obtain calcium values within the normal parameters and thus improving the patient's level of life.
