Abstract

Background Primary hyperparathyroidism is associated with an increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. However, mechanisms underlying this association are currently unclear. As there is clear evidence of the independent role of aldosterone on the cardiovascular system, the aim of this study was to evaluate aldosterone levels in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.Methods A prospective study of 134 consecutive patients with primary hyperparathyroidism before and 3 months after parathyroidectomy.Results Pre-operative serum aldosterone and parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were correlated positively in all patients (.238; P = .005). In the 62 patients (46%) that were not on antihypertensive medications, this correlation was stronger (.441; P = .0003). In the 72 patients (54%) treated with at least 1 antihypertensive medication, no correlation between preoperative aldosterone and PTH serum levels was observed. By multivariate analysis, pre-operative PTH level (.409; P = .005) was an independent predictor of aldosterone. Pre-operative PTH level >100 ng/L was an independent predictor of abnormally elevated plasma aldosterone level (odds ratio 3.5; P = .01). At 3 months after parathyroidectomy, no correlation was observed between postoperative PTH and aldosterone levels.Conclusion Aldosterone is correlated positively to preoperative PTH levels in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. Aldosterone might be a key mediator of cardiovascular symptoms in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
