AI Article Synopsis
- Higher risk of kidney stones in primary hyperparathyroidism is known, but the risk in normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) is still unclear.
- A case study highlighted a patient with recurrent calcium kidney stones and severe idiopathic hypercalciuria despite having NPHPT.
- Surgical removal of the parathyroid adenoma did not decrease the patient's kidney stone risk or burden, prompting an examination of the relationship between the adenoma and stone formation in NPHPT.*
Article Abstract
The higher risk for kidney stone in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism is well-documented; stone risk in patients with normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT) remains unclear. We present a case of recurrent calcium kidney stones in a patient with severe idiopathic hypercalciuria and NPHPT. The surgical resection of the parathyroid adenoma failed to reduce kidney stone risk (based on the 24-hr urine study) and kidney stone burden (based on ultrasound). This unique case examines the impact of surgical resection of an ectopic parathyroid adenoma on stone risk in a patient with NPHPT and recurrent calcium kidney stones.
