How can we confirmed hyperparathyroidism

If a patient in the aforementioned symptoms, it is a typical hyperparathyroidism, after laboratory tests and x-examination of certain films. Calcium concentrations in the blood of patients increased, and often more than 2.6 cents mole / liter. Because calcium concentration fluctuations, the need for repeated tests. Phosphorus concentration decreased. Serum alkaline phosphatase increased, parathyroid hormone concentration. Urine calcium, phosphorus emissions significantly increased. X-see films phalanx subperiosteal bone absorption, fiber cystic inflammation and pathological bone fracture.
In determining the hyperparathyroidism, but also to the positioning of parathyroid lesions. A very small number of patients can be palpable mass in the neck. Neck ultrasound, isotope scanning accuracy of the positioning of the tumor higher, neck cT check of great value. Preoperative localization can also be parathyroid surgery in the exploration to determine the lesion.
