Abstract
This study presents the clinical and biochemical profiles of patients with PHPT between 2005 and 2016 at our center. Most PHPT patients in China show symptomatic features. The number of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients increased during that time, and the number of individuals with parathyroid carcinoma is now increasing. INTRODUCTION: Over the last decade, the prevalence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) has increased sharply, and the number of individuals with parathyroid cancer is still trending upward. Little is known about the clinical outlook of the disease over the last decade in China. The aim of this study was to describe the clinical characteristics of PHPT patients at our center from January 2005 to December 2016. METHODS: Two hundred sixty patients with PHPT visiting Shanghai Jiao Tong University Affiliated Sixth People's Hospital were enrolled retrospectively. The clinical manifestations and biochemical abnormalities of these patients were analyzed. RESULTS: Among all patients, 73.1% had symptomatic PHPT, while the number of symptomatic and asymptomatic patients increased 1 to 2.5 times and 1.5 to 3 times, respectively, from 2005 to 2016. Bone pain and single adenoma were the most frequent signs and pathological results. The patients with parathyroid carcinoma over the last 5 years accounted for 90% (9/10) of all parathyroid carcinoma patients from 2005 to 2016, and parathyroid carcinoma patients had higher levels of serum calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), and serum creatinine (P < 0.05) than parathyroid hyperplasia and parathyroid adenoma patients. CONCLUSIONS: Most patients with PHPT in China still exhibit classic clinical and biochemical features. Both symptomatic and asymptomatic patients have increased over the last 12 years. Although the proportion of parathyroid carcinoma was small, a noticeable upward tendency was observed at our center.
