Abstract

Historically, patients with PHPT presented with manifestations of hypercalcemia, such as kidney stones, overt bone disease, and neuromuscular dysfunction. Today, patients are often diagnosed with PHPT in the course of routine biochemical screening and frequently have vague, nonspecific symptoms. Recognizing the changing presentation of PHPT, the NIH convened two consensus conferences to determine which subset of patients with PHPT might be safely observed and have their disease medically managed and which patients would benefit from operative intervention.
