Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common endocrine disorder caused by
overactivation of parathyroid glands resulting in excessive release of
parathyroid hormone. The resultant hypercalcemia leads to a myriad of symptoms.
Primary hyperparathyroidism may increase a patient's morbidity and even mortality
if left untreated. During the last few decades, disease presentation has shifted
from the classic presentation of severe bone and kidney manifestations to most
patients now being diagnosed on routine labs. Although surgery is the only
curative therapy, many advances have been made over the past decades in the
diagnosis and the surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism. The aim of
this review is to summarize the characteristics of the disease, the work up, and
the treatment options.
