OBJECTIVE: Distinguishing secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) from eucalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (EC-pHPT) is important. The objective of this study was to measure parathyroid hormone (PTH)-stimulated production of 1α,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25[OH]2D) in early postmenopausal patients with idiopathic sHPT, who also fit the criteria for EC-pHPT, compared to age-matched controls. METHODS: In this pilot case-control study, postmenopausal women aged 44 to 55 years with normal serum calcium (Ca), glomerular filtration rate (GFR) ≥65 mL/min, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25[OH]D) ≥75 nmol/L (30 ng/mL) were given an 8 hour infusion of PTH(1-34), 12 pmol/kg/h. Patients (n = 5) had elevated PTH, normal 1,25(OH)2D, and no hypercalciuria. Controls (n = 5) had normal PTH. At baseline, 4, and 8 hours, serum Ca, creatinine (Cr), phosphorus (P), 1,25(OH)2D, fibroblast growth factor (FGF23), and 24,25(OH)2D as well as urine Ca, P, Cr, and cAMP/GFR were measured. The fractional excretion of calcium (FeCa) and tubular reabsorption of phosphorus (TMP)/GFR were calculated. RESULTS: Patients had lower 1,25(OH)2D levels (± SD) than controls at 4 (39.8 ± 6.9 versus 58.8 ± 6.7; P = .002) and 8 hours (56.4 ± 9.2 versus 105 ± 2.3; P = .003) of PTH infusion, attenuated after adjusting for higher body mass index (BMI) in patients (P = .05, .04), respectively. The 24,25(OH)2D levels were lower in patients than controls (1.9 ± 0.6 versus 3.4 ± 0.6, respectively; P = .007). No differences were seen in serum Ca or P, urine cAMP/GFR, TRP/GFR, FeCa, or PTH suppression at 8 hours (patients 50%, controls 64%). CONCLUSION: Vitamin D sufficient patients who fit the criteria for EC-pHPT had reduced PTH-stimulated 1,25(OH)2D compared to controls, partially attributable to their higher BMI. Other causes of reduced 1,25(OH)2D production ruled out were excessive catabolism of vitamin D metabolites, elevated FGF23, and CYP27B1 mutation. Elevated BMI and idiopathic reduced PTH-stimulated 1,25(OH)2D production should be considered in the differential of sHPT.
