Causes

Overview

Hyperparathyroidism is caused by an increase in concentration of parathyroid hormone in serum. There are three type of hyperparathyroidism including primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The are an array of different causes for all types of hyperparathyroidism.

Causes of Primary hyperparathyroidism

Causes of primary hyperparathyroidism are as follows:

Common causes

  • Parathyroid adenoma
    • Usually single gland affected
    • Sometimes multiple gland affected

Less common causes

  • Parathyroid hyperplasia
  • Parathyroid carcinoma
  • Familial isloated hyperparathyroidism
  • Radiation exposure (due to development of parathyroid adenoma or parathyroid hyperplasia)[1][2][3]
  • Celiac disease[4][5]

Genetic causes

  • HRPT2 gene mutations:[6]
    • HRPT2 gene code for parafibromin protein.
    • HRPT2 gene mutations are found in a type of familial hyperparathyroidism, hyperparathyroidism-jaw tumor (HPT-JT) syndrome.
    • HRTP2 gene mutations increases risk of parathyroid carcinoma.
  • Cyclin D1 gene (CCND1)/PRAD1 gene:[7][8]
    • PRAD1 (parathyroid adenoma 1) is a protooncogene located on chromosome 11q13.
    • Cyclin D1 gene translocation and oncogene action observerd in 8% of adenomas
    • Cyclin D1 gene overexpression is pbserved in 20% to 40% of parathyroid adenomas
  • MEN1 gene:[7][9]
    • MEN1 is a tumor supressor gene on chronosome 11q13.
    • Somatic loss of single MEN1 allele is observed in 25% to 40% of sporadic parathyroid adenomas.

Causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism

Causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism are as follows:

Common causes

  • Chronic renal failure (leading to parathyroid hyperplasia)[10]
  • Vitamin D deficiency[11]

Less common causes

  • Severe calcium deficiency[12]
  • Gastric bypass surgery, particularly roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGBP)[13]
  • Malabsorption syndrome[14]

Causes of tertiary hyperparathyroidism

Causes of tertiary hyperparathyroidism are as follows:

Common causes

  • Chronic renal failure (leading to parathyroid hyperplasia)
  • Renal transplant patients[15]

Less common cause

  • Long standing celiac disease[4]


Pathogenesis

Associated conditions

  • Hypercalcemia
  • Chronic renal failure
  • Osteitis fibrous cystica
  • Osteoporosis
  • Osteomalacia
  • Osteoarthritis
  • Brown tumor
  • Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1, type 2A, and type 4
  • Familial isolated hyperparathyroidism
  • Neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism
  • Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
  • Hyperparathyroid-jaw tumor syndrome
  • Pancreatitis[16]

Natural history, Prognosis and Complications

Natural history

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism usually develops in the fifth decade of life, in post-menopausal women and starts as asymptomatic hypercalcemia in presence of increased parathyroid hormone.
  • If left untreated, some of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism may commonly develop marked hypercalcemia, marked hypercalciuria, cortical bone demineralization and nephrolithiasis.[17][18]
  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism arise in the early course of chronic renal failure. As renal failure progress, secondary hyperparathyroidism becomes more notable.[19]
  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism leads to vascular calcification due to elevated calcium and phosphorus levels. This is strongly associated with increase in morbidity and mortality.[20]
  • If left untreated, secondary hyperparathyroidism carries an increased risk of vascular calcification with increasing age and duration of dialysis in patients.
  • Tertiary hyperparathyroidism usually develops in post renal transplant patients.[21]
  • If left untreated, tertiary hyperparathyroidism in post renal transplant patients may carry the risk of amyloid deposition, calciphylaxis, destructive or erosive spondyloarthropathy, osteonecrosis, and musculoskeletal infections.

  • Untreated complication of primary hyperparathyroidism may be fatal.[25]
  • Effective treatment can reduce morbidity and mortality associated with uncontrolled secondary hyperparathyroidism.[20]
  • Hyperphosphatemia and metastatic calcification results due elevated product of serum calcium and serum phosphorus. Both conditions are present in patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism in presence of end stage renal disease. This leads to a significant increase in morbidity and mortality. Aggressive control of hyperphosphatemia may improve prognosis[47].
  • Prognosis of tertiary hyperparathyroidism is generally good after resection of abnormal hyperplastic gland.[52]


ECG

There are no CT scan findings associated with hyperparathyroidism. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac complications of hyperparathyroidism. Findings on ECG are due to hypercalcemia and includes:[53]

  • ST segment - ST segment is short in patients with hyperparathyroidism when compared to normocalcemic patients. This represents a decrease in systolic interval.
  • QRS complex - QRS complex has an increased amplitudein patients with hyperparathyroidism when compared to normocalcemic patients. This represents an increase in ventricular muscle mass.
  • T wave - T wave is prolonged in patients with hyperparathyroidism when compared to normocalcemic patients.

X-ray

Finding in primary hyperparathyroidism includes:[54]

  • Subperiosteal bone resorption
    • Classically affects the radial aspects of the proximal and middle phalanges of the 2nd and 3rd fingers
    • Medial aspect of tibia, femur, humerus
    • Phalyngeal tuft erosion (acro-osteolysis)
    • Lamina dura around teeth (floating teeth)
  • Endoosteal bone resorption
    • Widening of medullary cavity
    • Thinning of the inner cortex
  • Subchondral resorption

X-ray is the preferred imaging for diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism as majority of findings are radiological. [55] Findings in secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism are often associated with the osteosclerosis of renal osteodystrophy, and the osteomalacia of vitamin D deficiency:

  • Subperiosteal bone resorption
    • Radial aspect of middle phalanges of index and long fingers are involved.

    • Subchondral resorption is very severe. It may lead to bony collapse.
  • Subligamentous resorption
    • Retrocalcaneal bursa and insertion of planter aponeurosis may be involved.
  • Severe osteopenia, may be complicated by pathologic fractures
  • Osteosclerosis, e.g. rugger-jersey spine

Medical Therapy

Monitoring

Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism who do not undergo parathyroidectomy should be monitored for the potential progression of disease. There are guidelines for monitoring of patients with asymptomatic hyperparathyroidism not undergoing parathyroidectomy. These guidelines include:[56]

  • Serum calcium
    • Serum calcium should be monitored annually.
  • Skeletal monitoring
    • Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) is used for skeletal monitoring. DEXA should be done every 1-2 years (at 3 sites).
    • X-ray or vertebral fracture assessment of spine may be done if indications are present such as height loss, and/or back pain.
  • Renal monitoring
    • Estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and serum creatinine should be done annually.
    • 24-h biochemical stone profile, renal imaging by x-ray, ultrasound, or CT scan may be considered if renal stones are suspected.

Medical Management

  • 1. Primary hyperparathyroidism
    • 1.1 Nutritional supplementation[57]
      • 1.1.1 Low calcium intake[58]
        • Preferred regimen (1): Elemental calcium 500 mg PO q24h
        Note: Dietary calcium restriction is not necessary in primary hyperparathyroidism.
      • 1.1.2 Vitamin D depletion
        • Preferred regimen (1): Cholecalciferol 600–1000 IU PO q24h
        Note(1): Vitamin D deficiency is considered when serum level of 25-hydroxy vitamin D is below 50 nM (20 ng/mL).[59]
        Note(2): Serum calcium levels and urinary calcium excretion should be monitored during vitamin D supplementation. Vitamin D supplementation should be stopped if serum calcium levels is >11.6 mg/dL and/or urinary calcium excretion is >400 mg/24 h.
        Note(3): The goal of vitamin D supplementation is to keep 25-hydroxy vitamin D level between 50 nmol/L to 75 nmol/L.
    • 1.2 Pharmacotherapy
      • 1.2.1 Estrogen Receptor-Targeted Therapy (Post-menopausal women)
        • Preferred regimen (1): Conjugated equine estrogen 0.625 mg q24h + medroxyprogesterone acetate 5mg q24h
        Note(1): The risk-benefit ratio should be assessed with respect to known relative or absolute contraindication to use of estrogen in each patient.
      • 1.2.2 Bisphosphonates
        • Preferred regimen (1): Alendronate 10 mg PO q24h[60][61]
      • 1.2.3 Calcimimetics
        • Preferred regimen (1): Cinacalcet HCl 30-120 mg PO q12h[62][63]
        Note(1): Cincalcet may be used in patients with familial primary hyperparathyroidism as a treatment option for patients having recurrent or persistent hypercalcemia after parathyroidectomy.
        Note(2): A combination of bisphosphonates and calcimimetics may be used to reduce the serum calcium and improve BMD.[64]
