Abstract:
Objective To explore the gender differences in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) concurrent with upper urinary tract stone.Methods The clinical data of 40 PHPT concurrent with upper urinary tract stone cases treated from January 1997 to December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.There were 21 males and 19 females,with an mean age of 51 years (26-77 years).All patients underwent operation for PHPT,with preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) level of (38.42± 30.11)pmol/L.The PTH level in female patients was significantly higher than that in male patients (29.37± 17.64pmol/L versus 48.47±40.55 pmol/L,P=0.04).Serum biochemical variables were monitored,and 21 cases had 24 h-urinalysis.Results Postoperative pathology confirmed 36 cases of parathyroid adenoma and 4cases of parathyroid hyperplasia.Hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia were improved with no significant gender difference (both P>0.05).But in 21 cases of 24 h-urinalysis,urinary calcium and phosphorus in males were significantly higher than those in females (8.26±2.60 mmol/24 h versus 6.08± 1.59 mmol/24 h,P=0.03; 7.03±1.44 mmol/24 h versus 5.42±1.25 mmol/24 h,P=0.01).Conclusion In patients with PHPT concurrent with urolithiasis,male patients may be more associated with hypercalciuria.
