Pre-operative Localisation of the Parathyroid Glands in Secondary Hyperparathyroidism: A Retrospective Cohort Study.

ABSTRACT: Complete parathyroidectomy (PTx) is essential during total PTx for secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) to prevent recurrent and persistent hyperparathyroidism. Pre-operative imaging evaluations, including computed tomography (CT), ultrasonography (US), and Tc-99m sestamibi (MIBI) scans, are commonly performed. Between June 2009 and January 2016, 291 patients underwent PTx for SHPT after pre-operative evaluations involving CT, US, and MIBI scans, and the diagnostic accuracies of these imaging modalities for identifying the parathyroid glands were evaluated in 177 patients whose intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels were <9?pg/mL after the initial PTx. Additional PTx procedures were performed on 7 of 114 patients whose intact PTH levels were >9?ng/mL after PTx, and the diagnostic validities of the imaging modalities for the remnant parathyroid glands were evaluated. A combination of CT, US, and MIBI scans achieved the highest diagnostic accuracy (75%) for locating bilateral upper and lower parathyroid glands before initial PTx. The accuracies of CT, US, and MIBI scans with respect to locating remnant parathyroid glands before additional PTx were 100%, 28.6%, and 100%, respectively. A combination of CT, US, and MIBI scans is useful for initial PTx for SHPT, and CT and MIBI scans are useful imaging modalities for additional PTx procedures.

Project description:Persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism may occur after total parathyroidectomy and transcervical thymectomy with forearm autograft under continuous stimulation due to uremia. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels may reflect persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism because of the enlarged autografted parathyroid glands in the forearm or remnant parathyroid glands in the neck or mediastinum. Detailed imaging requires predictive localization of causative parathyroid glands. Casanova and simplified Casanova tests may be convenient. However, these methods require avascularization of the autografted forearm for >10 min with a tourniquet or Esmarch. The heavy pressure during avascularization can be incredibly painful and result in nerve damage. An easier method that minimizes the burden on patients in addition to predicting the localization of causative parathyroid glands was developed in this study. Ninety patients who underwent successful re-parathyroidectomy for persistent or recurrent renal hyperparathyroidism after parathyroidectomy between January 2000 and July 2019 were classified according to the localization of causative parathyroid glands (63 and 27 patients in the autografted forearm and the neck or mediastinum groups, respectively). Preoperatively, intact PTH levels were measured from bilateral forearm blood samples following a 5-min avascularization of the autografted forearm. Cutoff values of the intact PTH ratio (intact PTH level obtained from the non-autografted forearm before re-parathyroidectomy/intact PTH level obtained from the autografted forearm before re-parathyroidectomy) were investigated with receiver operating characteristic curves to localize the causative parathyroid glands. Intact PTH ratios of <0.310 with an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.913 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.856-0.970; P < 0.001) and >0.859 with an AUC 0.744 (95% CI: 0.587-0.901; P = 0.013) could predict causative parathyroid glands in the autografted forearm and the neck or mediastinum with diagnostic accuracies of 81.1% and 83.3%, respectively. Therefore, we propose that the intact PTH ratio is useful for predicting the localization of causative parathyroid glands for re-parathyroidectomy.

Project description:Elevated serum phosphorus (P) levels have been linked to increased morbidity and mortality in dialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) but may be difficult to control if parathyroid hormone (PTH) is persistently elevated. We conducted a post hoc analysis of data from an earlier interventional study (OPTIMA) to explore the relationship between PTH control and serum P.The OPTIMA study randomized dialysis patients with intact PTH (iPTH) 300-799 pg/mL to receive conventional care alone (vitamin D and/or phosphate binders [PB]; n=184) or a cinacalcet-based regimen (n=368). For patients randomized to conventional care, investigators were allowed flexibility in using a non-cinacalcet regimen (with no specific criteria for vitamin D analogue dosage) to attain KDOQI™ targets for iPTH, P, Ca and Ca x P. For those assigned to the cinacalcet-based regimen, dosages of cinacalcet, vitamin D sterols, and PB were optimized over the first 16 weeks of the study, using a predefined treatment algorithm. The present analysis examined achievement of serum P targets (? 4.5 and ? 5.5 mg/dL) in relation to achievement of iPTH ? 300 pg/mL during the efficacy assessment phase (EAP; weeks 17-23).Patients who achieved iPTH ? 300 pg/mL (or a reduction of ? 30% from baseline) were more likely to achieve serum P targets than those who did not, regardless of treatment group. Of those who did achieve iPTH ? 300 pg/mL, 43% achieved P ? 4.5 mg/dL and 70% achieved P ? 5.5 mg/dL, versus 21% and 46% of those who did not achieve iPTH ? 300 pg/mL. Doses of PB tended to be higher in patients not achieving serum P targets. Patients receiving cinacalcet were more likely to achieve iPTH ? 300 pg/mL than those receiving conventional care (73% vs 23% of patients). Logistic regression analysis identified lower baseline P, no PB use at baseline and cinacalcet treatment to be predictors of achieving P ? 4.5 mg/dL during EAP in patients above this threshold at baseline.This post hoc analysis found that control of serum P in dialysis patients was better when serum PTH levels were lowered effectively, regardless of treatment received.Clinicaltrials.gov identifier NCT00110890.
