Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism presents a unique diagnostic challenge due to its normal serum calcium levels despite elevated parathyroid hormone levels. Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism can overlap with primary or secondary hyperparathyroidism, necessitating thorough evaluation to differentiate between these conditions. The diagnosis of normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism requires excluding secondary causes of elevated parathyroid hormone through a comprehensive clinical history, physical examination, and targeted laboratory investigations. Treatment strategies for normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism focus on addressing the underlying parathyroid gland abnormalities, surgical parathyroidectomy in select patients, and long-term monitoring to assess treatment efficacy and prevent the recurrence of hyperparathyroidism-related complications.This activity for healthcare professionals aims to enhance learners’ understanding of the diagnostic criteria for normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism, competence in implementing appropriate therapeutic strategies, and utilization of an interprofessional approach to improve outcomes.
