Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NPHPT), a variant of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) characterized by persistently elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and normal serum calcium, has gained recognition as a substantial subset of PHPT cases. Despite its increasing prevalence, the precise pathophysiology and natural progression of NPHPT remain enigmatic. This in-depth literature review explores recent advancements in our understanding of NPHPT, encompassing pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnostic approaches, medical and surgical management options. By synthesizing this wealth of information, this review aims to contribute to a more nuanced and informed approach to the treatment of patients grappling with NPHPT. As our understanding of the condition continues to evolve, the knowledge gathered from this review has the potential to significantly enhance the quality of care and outcomes for individuals afflicted with NPHPT, ultimately improving their overall well-being and prognosis.
正常血钙性甲状旁腺功能亢进症(NPHPT)是一种以甲状旁腺激素(PTH)水平持续升高和血清钙正常为特征的原发性甲状旁腺功能亢进症(PHPT)的变异型,已被认为是 PHPT 的一个重要亚组。尽管其患病率不断增加,但 NPHPT 的精确病理生理学和自然进程仍然是个谜。本深入文献综述探讨了我们对 NPHPT 的理解的最新进展,包括病理生理学、临床表现、诊断方法、药物和手术治疗选择。通过综合这些丰富的信息,本综述旨在为治疗 NPHPT 患者提供更细致和知情的方法。随着我们对该疾病的认识不断发展,从本综述中收集的知识有可能极大地提高受 NPHPT 影响的个人的护理质量和结果,最终改善他们的整体健康和预后。
