Abstract

We report the clinical and biological picture of 34 primary hyperparathyroidism (PHT) cases, diagnosed in rheumatology. It concerned 25 women and 9 men, aged 61 + 11 years. The PHT was often asymptomatic (47 p. cent of cases) at the time of diagnosis. The clinical manifestations were dominated by asthenia (50 p. cent) and renal lithiasis (47 p. cent). We found a chondrocalcinosis in 29 p. cent of patients. No patient presented any bony manifestations of cystic osteitis; 7 out of 34 patients (including 6 women between 57 and 74 years) presented vertebral compression. The mean calcemia was 117 +/- 9 mg/l. There were no hypercalcemic attack. The dosage of PTH and cyclic AMP were elevated in 29 out of 32 and 28 out of 31 patients respectively. In all patients, the level of either of these two tests was increased. The chloremia/phosphoremia ratio was also extremely predictive of HBP, since it was increased, exceeding 3.3 in 33 out of 34 patients. The 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels (25 (OH) D) were normal. The levels of 1,25 (OH) 2D were markedly spread (37 +/- 16 pg/ml) and not significantly different from the reference group. Patients with lithiasis did not present a higher level of 1,25 (OH) 2D. A bone histomorphometry carried out in 15 patients showed a bone trabecular volume similar to that of the reference with the same age. The osteoclastic resorption was increased in all cases and was not correlated with the PTH level, but was significantly correlated with the level of 1,25 (OH) 2D (r = 0.79 p less than 0.01).(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
