Abstract

For the past 40 years, primary hyperparathyroidism has been recognized as a common endocrine disease which is, most often, "non-symptomatic", without the occurrence of nephrolithiasis or osteitis fibrosa cystica. Our knowledge in the pathophysiology has increased largely and diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism is usually easy. The only radical treatment is surgery and the surgical indications have been codified by several consensus conferences. For patients who do not undergo surgery, prolonged medical monitoring is needed.

Keywords: Hormone parathyroïdienne; Hypercalcemia; Hypercalcémie; Lithiase rénale; Nephrolithiasis; Osteopathy; Ostéopathie; Parathyroid hormone.
