Parathyroid ultrasound is widely used in clinical practice and plays a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment of parathyroid diseases. Nevertheless, ultrasound physicians frequently encounter a number of challenges and doubts in their professional practice. For this reason, Superficial Organs and Peripheral Vessels Committee of Chinese Association of Ultrasound in Medicine and Engineering has formulated the expert consensus on certain common clinical problems of parathyroid ultrasound based on the current research progress and clinical experience, in order to guide the clinical practice. This consensus describes in detail the diagnostic and interventional common problems of parathyroid ultrasound and provides in-depth discussion on related contents.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disorder, typically caused by a single parathyroid adenoma. The diagnosis of PHPT is biochemical, and the localization of abnormal parathyroid glands is usually achieved through a combination of ultrasound and technetium-99m sestamibi (99mTc-MIBI) scans. In some cases, newer imaging modalities, such as positron emission tomography-computed tomography (PET-CT) with 18F-fluorocholine or 11C-methionine, are used as second-line methods.

Objective: Near-infrared autofluorescence (NIRAF) imaging shows promise in identifying parathyroid gland (PG) during surgery. However, the clinical application of NIRAF faces challenges due to the heterogeneous fluorescence intensity (FI) of PGs observed in different thyroid and parathyroid diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of NIRAF in PG detection and to analyze the FI of PGs in patients with various thyroid and parathyroid diseases.

Introduction: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients show high rates of cardiovascular disease (CVD) and mortality. In the general population, obesity, hypertension, and diabetes are known as the classical CVD risk factors. However, CKD patients have other predisposing CVD factors more associated with bone and mineral metabolism disorders (BMD).
