Primary hyperparathyroidism: clinical manifestations, diagnosis and evaluation according to the Fifth International Workshop guidelines.
Reumatologia 2023
Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a frequent endocrine disease which mainly affects the skeletal system and kidney. Some of its signs and symptoms are similar to those seen in rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, Sjögren's disease, fibromyalgia, polymyalgia rheumatica, gout or systemic lupus erythematosus. Coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism with those pathologies potentiate their effects on muscles, bones and joints, increasing the risk of complications such as osteoporosis and fractures. Therefore, rheumatologists should be familiar with symptoms and diagnostic criteria of PHPT and consider it in the differential diagnosis of rheumatic diseases. In 2022 the Fifth International Workshop guidelines on the PHPT evaluation and management were published. They are based on a profound analysis of advances in research concerning multiple fields, that include genetics, outcomes and new imaging modalities of PHPT. They have led to revision of previous renal indications for parathyroidectomy in PHPT. There is also more evidence for the other recommendations regarding evaluation of the disease. This article summarizes the most relevant elements of these recommendations and refers them to Polish realities. I focus on the symptoms of primary hyperparathyroidism and its diagnosis as I consider these areas to be the most important for non-endocrinologists.
