Primary hyperparathyroidism results from autonomous secretion of parathyroid hormone by a single or multiple parathyroid glands. Clinical signs result from various combinations of hypercalcemia, hypercalcemic nephropathy, urolithiasis, or mobilization of calcium and phosphorus from bone. Following parathyroidectomy, the prognosis for dogs with primary hyperparathyroidism is good if the disorder is diagnosed before renal disease is advanced.

Primary hyperparathyroidism resulted in calcium urolith formation and calcium nephropathy in 2 dogs. Uroliths composed of calcium phosphate were surgically removed from the bladder of one dog 3 months after surgical removal of a parathyroid adenoma. Five years later, hypercalcemia and urolithiasis had not recurred. In a second dog, calcium oxalate renal and bladder uroliths remained unchanged in size at 11 months after removal of a parathyroid adenoma. The possibility of primary hyperparathyroidism should be considered in any dog with calcium urolithiasis.

A retrospective study of 75 patients who were surgically cured of primary hyperparathyroidism from 1976 to 1984 was performed to evaluate the blood pressure and metabolic responses to parathyroid surgery. Published data on the population prevalence of hypertension (HT) in South Africa were used for comparison. The overall prevalence of HT before surgery was 47%, compared with 23% in the general population. Hypertension was most frequent in patients older than 60 years (62% vs 39% expected). Renal insufficiency was found in 13 of 35 hypertensive patients and in two of 40 normotensive patients. However, the prevalence of HT in patients with normal creatinine levels (37%) exceeded that expected. The frequency of urolithiasis and mean levels of serum and urine calcium and phosphate were similar in normotensive and hypertensive patients. Parathyroidectomy resulted in a substantial fall in both mean systolic and mean diastolic blood pressures in 54% of the hypertensive subjects, unrelated to improvement in renal function.

Eight cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (P-HPT) confirmed pathohistologically, between April, 1974 and January, 1986 at our department, were reviewed. The patients consisted of three males and five females, ranging in age from 38 to 62 years old with an average of 50.3 years. All the cases belonged to the urolithiasis type and seven patients were recurrent or/and multiple stone-formers. Positive rates of the laboratory values studied in relation with P-HPT were 100% in serum Ca, C terminal parathyroid hormone, and % TRP, 87.5% in urine Ca, 75% in serum Cl/P ratio, alkaliphosphatase, 50% in serum Cl, 37.5% in serum P and 0% in urine P. Seven cases had clinically apparent hypercalcemia, while one was a so-called borderline P-HPT with intermittent hypercalcemia. The correct diagnosis of the localization was obtained preoperatively in two cases by angiography and one by C.T and Tl-Tc subtraction scintigraphy. Histological findings of the tumors extirpated by the cervical operation were parathyroid adenomas in six cases and hyperplasia in two. During the course of the postoperative follow up, hypercalcemia and urolithiasis did not recur in any case including two of hyperplasia.

Three cases of mild metabolic hyperoxaluria (with glycollaturia) are described. They showed different types of response to pyridoxine. One responded to low dose, one responded at first to low dose but became resistant, and the third showed temporary response to high dose. One case also had primary hyperparathyroidism and one had medullary sponge kidneys and hypercalciuria. It is important to measure urinary oxalate (and glycollate) in all cases of calcium oxalate urolithiasis.

Due to a hypercalcaemia and changeably appearing hypercalciuria 13 patients with relapsing urolithiasis were under suspicion of a primary hyperparathyroidism. After selective sounding and withdrawal of blood from the cervical veins in all cases the determination of parathormones was performed and always an increased activity of parathormones was found. The exploration of the cervical region carried out could in 11 performed operations in 8 cases prove an adenoma and in 3 cases a hyperplasia as cause of hyperparathyroidism. A localization of the suspected adenoma was in 5 cases possible in combination with the angiography of the thyroid gland. By equally high activity in 3 cases no clear evidence was possible. An improvement of the diagnostics of localization might be achieved by supraselective sounding of the veins. On principle the authors recommend to perform a selective determination of parathormones before operation, which in case of need is to be supplemented by a selective angiography of the thyroid gland.

Two cases of primary hyperparathyroidism with urolithiasis are reported. These cases were preoperatively localized by CT-scan and 201T1-chloride scintiscan. Primary hyperparathyroidism is one of the most significant pathogenesis of urolithiasis and determination of serum Ca level is valuable in screening for primary hyperparathyroidism. CT-scan, ultrasonogram and scintiscan with 201T1-chloride are useful and are non-invasive studies to detect preoperative localization of parathyroid tumors.

Using the ambulatory protocol previously described, 241 patients with nephrolithiasis were evaluated. They could be categorized into 10 groups from the results obtained. Absorptive hypercalciuria type I (87 per cent male) comprised 24.5 per cent and was characterized by normocalcemia, normal fasting urinary calcium (less than 0.11 mg/100 ml glomerular filtration), an exaggerated urinary calcium following an oral calcium load (greater than 0.20 mg/mg creatinine), normal urinary cyclic adenosine monophosphate (AMP) (less than 5.4 nmol/100 ml glomerular filtration) and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), and hypercalciuria (greater than 200 mg/day during a calcium- and sodium-restricted diet). Absorptive hypercalciuria type II (50 per cent male) accounted for 29.8 per cent; its biochemical features were the same as those for absorptive hypercalciuria type I, except for normocalciuria during a restricted diet and low urine volume (1.42 +/- 0.55 SD liter/day). Renal hypercalciuria (56 per cent male), disclosed in 8.3 per cent, was represented by normocalcemia and high values for fasting urinary calcium (0.160 +/- 0.054 mg/100 ml glomerular filtration), urinary cyclic AMP (6.80 +/- 2.10 nmol/100 ml glomerular filtration) and serum PTH. Primary hyperparathyroidism (57 per cent female), accounted for 5.8 per cent, typically included hypercalcemia, hypophosphatemia, hypercalciuria and high urinary cyclic AMP. Hyperuricosuric calcium urolithiasis (100 per cent male) comprised 8.7 per cent, and was characterized by hyperuricosuria (776 +/- 164 mg/day) and urinary pH exceeding pK for uric acid (5.91 +/- 0.33). In enteric hyperoxaluria (60 per cent female), encountered in 2.1 per cent of cases, urinary oxalate was increased (6.29 +/- 13.2 mg/day). Noncalcium-containing stones were found in 2.1 per cent of the patients with uric acid lithiasis (100 per cent male) and in another 2.1 per cent of the patients with infection lithiasis (60 per cent female). These conditions were typified by low urinary pH (5.29 +/- 0.12) and high urinary pH (6.69 +/- 1.16), respectively. Renal tubular acidosis was found in one patient (male, 0.4 per cent). In 10.8 per cent of the patients (81 per cent male), no metabolic abnormality could be found, although urine volume was low (1.41 +/- 0.51 liter/day). Hypercalciuria could not be differentiated between absorptive hypercalciuria and renal hypercalciuria in 5.4 per cent of the patients. Thus, this ambulatory protocol disclosed a physiologic disturbance in nearly 90 per cent of the cases and provided a definitive diagnosis in 95 per cent of the patients.

Parathyroid hormone is concerned with urolithiasis, and regulated by serum ionized calcium concentration. We thought that parathyroid hormone might also be regulated by a hormone. 1 mg of ACTH injection was given intramuscularly to 6 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, 6 patients with urolithiasis, and 5 control subjects. Serum calcium significantly increased 2 h after ACTH injection in primary hyperparathyroidism. However in the other two groups, an increase of serum calcium was not observed. Parathyroid hormone increased after ACTH injection in most subjects of all three groups. Calcium concentration in a culture medium of parathyroidectomy increased in 4 cases, and the parathyroid hormone concentration in the culture medium increased in 3 cases after ACTH addition. From these data, we believe that ACTH directly influences the parathyroid glands, and that calcium is released from the parathyroid cells. Therefore, the decrease in calcium concentration in the parathyroid cells activates the excretion of parathyroid hormone. The fact that serum parathyroid hormone increases in most subjects in all groups supports our hypothesis, namely that ACTH acts directly on the parathyroid gland.

Changes in the alveolar lamina dura in 134 patients have been analysed. They included 32 cases with urolithiasis in whom generalised bone disease had been excluded, 37 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, 31 cases of secondary hyperparathyroidism and 34 with primary osteoporosis. The state of the lamina dura was related to biochemical, radiological and histological findings in the various groups. The value of the lamina dura in the diagnosis of generalised skeletal abnormalities has been defined.
