Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) frequently report symptoms that are associated with the disease and impact on their quality of life (QoL). While parathyroidectomy corrects calcium and PTH levels, its impact on improving patients' QoL is not clear. In this single centre prospective study, we aimed to assess the impact of a parathyroidectomy on PHPT patients' pre and post parathyroidectomy QoL over a period of three years and nine months.

- She had been effectively treated for 3 years with a medication (adalimumab) before being lost to follow-up for 8 years and now shows worsening symptoms, including low back pain and fatigue.
- Imaging studies including MRI and CT scans were ordered to investigate the underlying causes of her worsening pain, amidst complications like nonobstructing kidney stones and abnormal vitamin D levels.
Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease.
Lancet Rheumatol
November 2024
Academic Rheumatology, University of Nottingham, Nottingham, UK; NIHR Nottingham Biomedical Research Centre, Nottingham, UK.
Article Synopsis
- - Calcium pyrophosphate deposition disease (CPPD) occurs when CPP crystals build up in joints, triggering inflammation and arthritis, particularly in older individuals over 60, and is linked to cartilage deterioration and osteoarthritis.
- - Common risk factors for CPPD include aging, past joint injuries, and certain metabolic conditions or genetic factors. Diagnosis relies on detecting CPP crystals in joint fluid and imaging techniques like X-rays and ultrasound.
- - Current treatment focuses on managing inflammation since there’s no cure for dissolving CPP crystals; options include prednisone for acute arthritis, low-dose colchicine, and potential use of biologics for stubborn cases.
