Primary hyperparathyroidism is an endocrine disorder characterized by increased parathyroid hormone secretion, leading to hypercalcemia and renal and skeletal complications. Diagnosis requires excluding secondary causes and awareness about the complexities of abnormal lab values associated with primary hyperparathyroidism. Treatment involves parathyroid surgery for symptomatic cases; medical therapy with calcimimetic agents or bone resorptive medications may suit some patients. Understanding calcium homeostasis is crucial for management. This course explores the complexities surrounding primary hyperparathyroidism and increases understanding of the disorder’s evaluation and management.This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence in differentiating primary hyperparathyroidism from secondary causes, grasping the intricacies of parathyroid hormone regulation, and recognizing clinical manifestations for timely diagnosis and appropriate intervention, ultimately enhancing patient care.
