These include osteoporosis and increased risk of fractures, but also risk factors for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. READ MORE

7. Cardiovascular disease and adrenergic dysfunction in mild primary hyperparathyroidism
Abstract : Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is associated with cardiovascular morbidity and premature death, but the underlying mechanisms are incompletely understood. The aim of this thesis was to investigate cardiovascular parameters and adrenergic function in mild PHPT compared to healthy controls subjects before and after curative parathyroidectomy (PTX).

9. Impact of Surgery for Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Abstract : Primär hyperparathyroidism, pHPT, är en relativt vanlig endokrinologisk sjukdom som karaktäriseras av förhöjd utsöndring av bisköldkörtelhormon, PTH, i förhållande till kalciumnivån i blodet. Sjukdomen är vanligast hos äldre och kvinnor, och orsakas oftast av en godartad tumör i en bisköldkörtel (80–85% av fallen) eller mer diffus förstoring av flera bisköldkörtlar. READ MORE
