急性副甲状腺機能亢進症の1例

Abstract

A patient with hyperc:olcemic crisis secondary to a parathyroid adenoma has been presented. His past history revealed that the serum calcium level fell to the normal range with the administration of steroid. Therefore it must be emphasized that there may be cortisone responsive hypercalcemia in primary hyperparathyroidism. Peritoneal dialysis was helpfull in the emergency management of severe hypercalcemia. Exploration of the neck was successfully performed after recovery from the crisis. In acute hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia must be kept in mind as the cause of renal function impairment.
