Abstract:
Objective To study the efficacy of disodium pamidronate in the treatment of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) complicated by hypercalcemic crisis.Methods A total of 9 patients (12 cases) admitted into our hospital were diagnosed as PHPT complicated by hypercalcemic crisis.Of them,4 patients had parathyroid carcinoma,3 patients had parathyroid adenoma,2 patients had parathyroid hyperplasia.The intravenous disodium pamidronate was given for 12 times in all 9 patients.Serum calcium were monitored before and after treatment.Results Before the treatment,the serum calcium levels was 3.75 (3.66,3.99) mmol/L.On the second and third day after the treatment with disodium pamidronate,the serum calcium levels were 3.44 (2.95,3.78) mmol/L and 2.79 (2.50,3.14) mmol/L.The lowest level of serum calcium after treatment was 2.25 (2.00,2.55) mmoL/L.There were significant differences in the level of serum calcium of different days (P < 0.05).On the second and third day,the change of serum calcium were 0.46 (0.10,0.88) mmol/L,0.60 (0.25,0.75) mmol/L,there were no differences.After intravenous disodium pamidronate,the serum calcium level decreased below 3.5 mmol/L in (2.27 ± 0.65) days,and were kept below 3.5mmol/L for 18.45 ± 12.30 days.Conclusions Disodium pamidronate can decrease serum calcium levels in hypercalcemic crisis caused by primary hyperparathyroidism effectively with mild adverse events.
