10 Primary Hyperparathyroidism
11 Clinical Scenario-1 73 year man with hypercalcemia on routine labs Concerned about insomnia, fatigue, memory loss Denied other symptoms related to hypercalcemia No family history of hypercalcemia/hyperparathyroidism No medications that could cause hypercalcemia No supplements PMHx: Hepatitis B, CAD, HTN, HLD, chronic anemia, Barrett s esophagitis PSHx: Inguinal hernia, cataract, prostatectomy Physical exam normal
12 Clinical Scenario-1
13 Case-based Conversation What is the diagnosis? Primary hyperparathyroidism? Mild, asymptomatic PHP? Symptomatic PHP? Normocalcemic PHP? Do enough indications for surgery already exist?
14 Clinical Scenario-1 Indications for surgery in asymptomatic primary hyperparathyroidism Serum Calcium 1 mg/dl > upper limit of normal T-score less than -2.5 at lumbar spine, total hip, femoral neck or distal 1/3 radius* Vertebral fracture 24 hour urine calcium > 400 mg/day and increased stone risk by biochemical stone risk analysis Presence of nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis Age < 50 years of age *for women John P. Bilezikian, Maria Luisa Brandi, Richard Eastell, Shonni J. Silverberg, Robert Udelsman, Claudio Marcocci, and John T. Potts Jr

17 Clinical Scenario-1 With negative Sestamibi scan, would you refer patient to surgeon?
18 Clinical Scenario-1 ULTRASOUND Right paratracheal density measuring 13 x 10 mm with teardrop hypoechoic shape and vascular branching pattern compatible with parathyroid adenoma
19 4-Dimensional CT Imaging 3-D CT method with 4 th dimension representing changes in perfusion of contrast over time: hyperfunctioning parathyroid glands have rapid uptake and washout. 3-D reconstruction/ rendering based on 4-D CT imaging 1.25 mm Axial 2.5 mm sagittal coronal oblique Perrier JACS 2012, Rodgers Surgery 2006, Mortenson JACS 2008

21 Case-based Conversation Parathyroid Imaging Who orders? Who views the studies? What kind of study? Who does the US? Does $/XRT of 4DCT offset costs of OR time? Imaging is a localization NOT diagnostic tool Tells the surgeon where to start. But..can it be a decision-making tool?

23 Clinical Scenario-1 Conclusion: On Oct 13 th 2015, patient underwent focused parathyroid exploration with parathyroidectomy of right lower parathyroid adenoma. IOPTH decreased appropriately and histology confirmed hypercellular parathyroid tissue. 6-month labs were normal. HE FELT MORE ENERGETIC.
24 Thyroid Cancer
25 Your Patient A 30 year old woman has had two prior benign FNA s. At recent visit home, her mom advised her to follow-up again because her goiter looks bigger. FamHx: mom & dad treated for PTC, both are now hoarse, brother with thyroid nodules. The left lobe is normal. The right lobe ultrasound shows the 2 cm nodule that had FNA.

Calcium carbonate 1250 mg Q 6 hrs (each 1250 mg tablet contains 500 mg elemental calcium) b. Calcitriol (Rocaltrol) 0.25 mcg once a day Check calcium in AM (fasting) on POD 1 a. Calcium < 7.5 Increase calcium carbonate to 2500 mg (two 1250-mg tablets=1000 mg elemental calcium) Q 6 hrs Increase calcitriol (Rocaltrol) to 0.5 mcg once a day Recheck calcium in afternoon Discharge when calcium > 7.8 b.

Calcium Discharge home on calcium carbonate 1250 mg (500 mg elemental calcium) 4 times daily, and calcitriol (Rocaltrol) 0.25 mcg once daily d. Calcium > 9.0 Stop calcitriol (Rocaltrol) Discharge on calcium carbonate 1250 mg (500 mg elemental calcium) 3 times daily 8-PAGE PROTOCOL **PATIENTS WHO ARE DISCHARGED ON DAY OF SURGERY (and therefore do not have a POD 1 calcium level) should be started on the standard oral regimen with calcium and calcitriol (Rocaltrol) outlined above and discharged on this regimen with instructions to have a calcium level drawn at Harvard Vanguard on POD 3. If POD 3 falls on a Saturday, the calcium level should be drawn on Friday before noon (POD 2); if POD 3 falls on a Sunday, the calcium level should be drawn on Monday before noon (POD 4). Other than this, follow same instructions below as for all other patients. ALL PATIENTS UPON DISCHARGE: a. Educate regarding signs and symptoms of hypocalcemia b. Provide prescription for 10-day supply of calcitriol (Rocaltrol) if being discharged on Rocaltrol Provide instructions for purchasing OTC calcium tablets: patients should be specifically instructed to purchase OsCal tablets. Any OsCal brand tablet (including

55 Relationship between Serum & Ionized Calcium Total and Ionized Calcium can change independently of each other, limiting their correlation Due to changes in proteins (including Albumin), ph, etc. Controlling for these variables has not been useful in finding an algorithm to link serum and ionized calcium Courtesy Eric Miller, BS, MS3 UACOM
56 Serum & Ionized Calcium Total calcium greatly underestimates the diagnosis of hypercalcemia in incident renal transplant recipients. (Evenepoel et al, 2010) In conclusion, albumin-corrected tca does not predict ica better than noncorrected tca. Moreover, both noncorrected and albumin-corrected tca concentrations poorly predict hypo- or hypercalcemia in patients with CKD. (Gauci et al, 2008) measurements of ionized calcium, the physiologically active component of total calcium, will become the routine, preferred method for determining the level of calcium in all patients.

58 Hypercalcemic Crisis
59 Clinical Scenario 65 year old woman was found to have serum calcium level of 16 mg/dl in routine evaluation and referred to an endocrinologist for evaluation She was recently diagnosed with stage 1 invasive ductal breast cancer Features of hypercalcemia: GERD, osteoporosis, patient denied other characteristics No family history of hypercalcemia/hyperparathyroidism Patient was taking hydrochlorothiazide Not taking vitamin D or calcium supplements
60 Clinical Scenario PMHx: Anxiety, HTN, obesity PSHx: Cholecystectomy, TAH with BSO, resection of colon polyp Social Hx: Single, no hx of tobacco, recreational drug use. Drinks wine 5 times/week. One child. Physical exam: no discrete abnormalities Endocrinologist referred patient to my ER and then called my cell phone

65 Clinical scenario ULTRASOUND of thyroid/parathyroid glands
66 Clinical scenario In July 2016, patient underwent focused parathyroidectomy with excision of right inferior parathyroid adenoma that was located in retroesophageal area. Date Baseline PTH (12-88 pg/ml) PTH in 10 minutes Calcium ( mg/dl)
67 Clinical scenario 14,700 mg adenoma (normal parathyroid weight 30 mg)
68 Case-based Conversation Nuances of management What defines hypercalcemic crisis? Is this breast cancer metastasis? Who receives initial consult? At what point order imaging? How much? At what point consult surgeon? Aim for surgery prior to discharge? Use of bisphosphonates? What about vitamin D? Postpone surgery? When suspect parathyroid cancer..... and does it matter?
69 Benign Thyroid Disease
70 Your Patient A 68 year old woman is referred to you for an incidental FDG-avid left thyroid nodule on PET scan. Prior history of breast cancer. No thyroid or neck symptoms. TSH is normal.
