| 5 | Primary hyperparathyroidism presenting as acute pancreatitis: An institutional experience with review of the literature显示文摘BACKGROUND Acute pancreatitis(AP)presenting as an initial manifestation of primary hyperparathyroidism(PHPT)is uncommon,and its timely diagnosis is crucial in preventing recurrent attacks of pancreatitis.AIM To determine the clinical,biochemical,and radiological profile of PHPT patients presenting as AP.METHODS This is a retrospective observational study,51 consecutive patients admitted with the diagnosis of PHPT during January 2010 and October 2021 at a tertiary care hospital in Puducherry,India was included.The diagnosis of AP was established in the presence of at least two of the three following features:abdominal pain,levels of serum amylase or lipase greater than three times the normal,and characteristic features at abdominal imaging.RESULTS Out of the 51 consecutive patients with PHPT,twelve(23.52%)had pancreatitis[5(9.80%)AP,seven(13.72%)chronic pancreatitis(CP)].PHPT with AP(PHPT-AP)was more common among males with the presentation at a younger age(35.20±16.11 vs 49.23±14.80 years,P=0.05)and lower plasma intact parathyroid hormone(iPTH)levels[125(80.55-178.65)vs 519.80(149-1649.55,P=0.01)]compared to PHPT without pancreatitis(PHPT-NP).The mean serum calcium levels were similar in both PHPT-AP and PHPT-NP groups[(11.66±1.15 mg/dL)vs(12.46±1.71 mg/dL),P=0.32].PHPT-AP also presented with more gastrointestinal symptoms like abdominal pain,nausea,and vomiting with lesser skeletal and renal manifestations as compared to patients with PHPT-NP.CONCLUSION AP can be the only presenting feature of PHPT.Normal or higher serum calcium levels during AP should always draw attention towards endocrine causes like PHPT. | K G Rashmi Sadishkumar Kamalanathan Jayaprakash Sahoo Dukhabandhu Naik Pazhanivel Mohan Biju Pottakkat Sitanshu Sekhar Kar Rajan Palui Ayan Roy | 2022 | World Journal of Gastrointestinal Pharmacology and Therapeutics2022，13，4： | 1 |
