Short-term effect of parathyroidectomy on biochemical markers in primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism.

This study has been carried out in order to evaluate several bone metabolic markers after parathyroidectomy in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHP). The subjects studied were 6 patients with PHP (5 females, 1 male, aged 64-83 years) and 5 patients with SHP on chronic maintenance hemodialysis with skeletal symptoms (2 females, 3 males, aged 57-67 years). In PHP, serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and procollagen type I carboxy-terminal propeptides (PICP) levels showed a trend to increase gradually after parathyroidectomy, changes which were statistically significant (ALP, p = 0.0375; PICP, p = 0.0006). The serum bone Gla protein (BGP) level showed no significant change throughout the pre- and postoperative periods (p = 0.7512). Urinary pyridinoline (Pyr.) and deoxypyridinoline (DPyr.) levels showed rapid decreases after parathyroidectomy (Pyr.; p = 0.0014, DPyr., p = 0.0087). In SHP, individual values of serum ALP in 3 patients with complete parathyroid resection and 1 patient with incomplete parathyroid resection showed a tendency to increase. Individual values of serum BGP and PICP increased after parathyroidectomy in 3 patients with complete parathyroid resection but not in the 2 patients with incomplete parathyroid resection. Individual values of the serum carboxy-terminal pyridinoline cross-linked telopeptide of type I collagen (ICTP) level showed no certain trend. The results obtained after surgery indicate that there is a positive uncoupling of the two processes of bone remodeling, and serum PICP and urinary pyridinium cross-links are good specific markers for the evaluation of potential recovery of bone damage after parathyroidectomy.
