[Mid C regional parathyroid hormone in the clinical workup: diagnostic value in extrarenal (primary) and renal (secondary) hyperparathyroidism].
The selective determination of mid-C-regional parathyroid hormone (mid-C-PTH) in combination with other laboratory parameters is a reliable tool for diagnosis and treatment of extra-renal (primary) and renal (secondary) hyperparathyroidism. Early stages, which show either high-to-normal serum calcium and elevated mid-C-PTH or increased serum calcium but normal mid-C-PTH, can be distinguished from overt hyperparathyroidism. Alkaline phosphatase (AP) activity and mid-C-regional PTH provide biochemical confirmation of histologically classified renal osteodystrophy. Since the index AP X PTH signifies osseous changes in dialysis patients at an early stage, therapeutic regimens may be altered without additional invasive procedures. After renal transplantation mid-C-PTH normalizes and serum creatinine decreases. Increased mid-C-PTH in patients with normal renal graft function reflects autonomous PTH secretion, which requires careful monitoring to prevent PTH-induced hypercalciuria.
