Overview

There are three types of hyperparathyroidism (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and should be differentiated between each other. Hyperparathyroidism should be differentiated from other causes of hypercalcemia. Causes of hypercalcemia other than hyperparathyroidism include familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia related to malignancy, medication-induced hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia due to nutritional disorders, and hypercalcemia related to granulomatous diseases.

Differentiating hyperparathyroidism from other diseases

There are three types of hyperparathyroidism (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and should be differentiated between each other. Hyperparathyroidism should be differentiated from other causes of hypercalcemia. Causes of hypercalcemia include:



Differential diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism on the basis of hypercalcemia
Disorder Mechanism of hypercalcemia Clinical features Laboratory findings Imaging & diagnostic modalities
PTH Calcium Phosphate Other findings
Hyperparathyroidism Primary hyperparathyroidism Increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from a primary process in parathyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium.
  • Usually asymptomatic
  • Hypercalcemia detected on routine biochemical panel
 ↑ ↑ ↓/Normal Normal/↑ calcitriol Findings of bone resorption:

Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland:

Predicting post-operative success:

Secondary hyperparathyroidism Increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from a secondary process. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium after long periods. ↑ ↓/Normal ↑ --
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism Continuous elevation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) even after successful treatment of the secondary cause of elevated parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium. ↑ ↑ ↑ --
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia This is a genetic disorder caused my mutation in calcium-sensing receptor gene.
  • A benign condition
  • Does not require treatment
 Normal/↑ Normal/↑ -- --
  • Urinary calcium/creatinine clearance ratio
Malignancy[1] Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy[2][3][4] Tumor cells secretes parathyroid hormone-related protein (PTHrP) which has similar action as parathyroid hormone. -- ↑ ↓/Normal ↑ PTHrP

Normal/↑ calcitriol

Osteolytic tumors Multiple myeloma produces osteolysis of bones causing hypercalcemia. Osteolytic metasteses can cause bone resorption causing hypercalcemia. ↓ ↑ -- --
Production of calcitirol Some tumors has ectopic activity of 1-alpha-hydroxylase leading to increased production of calcitriol. Calcitriol is active form of vitamin D and causes hypercalcemia. -- ↑ -- ↑ Calcitriol
Ectopic parathyroid hormone[5] Some tumors leads to ectopic production of parathyroid hormone. ↑ ↑ ↓/Normal Normal/↑ calcitriol
Medication induced Lithium[6] Lithium lowers urinary calcium and causes hypercalcemia. Lithium has been reported to cause an increase in parathyroid hormone and enlargement if parathyroid gland after weeks to months of therapy. ↑ ↑ -- --
Thiazide diuretics Thiazide diuretics lowers urinary calcium excretion and causes hypercalcemia. -- ↑ -- -- --
Nutritional Milk-alkali syndrome Hypercalcemia is be caused by high intake of calcium carbonate. -- ↑ -- ↓ calcitriol
Vitamin D toxicity Excess vitamin D causes increased absorption of calcium from intestine causing hypercalcemia. -- ↑ -- ↑ Vitamin D (calcidiol and/or calcitriol) --
Granulomatous disease Sarcoidosis[9] Hypercalcemia is causes by endogeous production of calcitriol by disease-activated macrophages. -- ↑ -- ↑ Calcitriol

↑ ACE levels
