Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the prevalence and effects of hypertension in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) before and after they underwent parathyroid surgery.
- The research included 46 patients over an average follow-up of 3.5 years, revealing that 54.35% had hypertension, but none of the patients with presurgical hypertension became normotensive afterward.
- It also found that certain calcium levels were associated with nighttime blood pressure and highlighted a concerning prevalence of nondipper behavior, indicating ongoing risks for target organ damage despite surgery.
