Overview
An elevated/reduced concentration of serum/blood/urinary/CSF/other [lab test] is diagnostic of [disease name].
OR
Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of [disease name] include [abnormal test 1], [abnormal test 2], and [abnormal test 3].
OR
[Test] is usually normal among patients with [disease name].
OR
Some patients with [disease name] may have elevated/reduced concentration of [test], which is usually suggestive of [progression/complication].
OR
There are no diagnostic laboratory findings associated with [disease name].
Laboratory Findings
Primary hyperparathyroidism
- An elevated serum calcium on routine biochemical screening in a asymptomatic patient should raise the suspicion of primary hyperparathyroidism.[1]
- An elevated/ concentration of serum ionized calcium with elevated parathyroid level is diagnostic of primary hyperparathyoidism.
- 25-Hydroxy vitamin D is usually normal among patients with primary hyperparathyroidism.
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism include
- Elevated concentration of serum calcium
- Elevated serum parathyroid level
- Low normal serum phosphorous concentration
- Elevated 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D (calcitriol) may be found in around half of patients.
- There is a mild elevation in bone turnover indices including serum alkaline phosphate activity, osteocalcin, and urinary hydroxypiridinium collagen crosslinks.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism
- Laboratory findings consistent with the diagnosis of secondary hyperparathyroidism include:
- Elevated serum parathyroid hormone level
- Low to normal serum calcium
- Low serum vitamin D (25-hydroxy vitamin D) may be found if vitamin D deficiency is the cause of secondary hyperparathyroidism.
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
- An elevated concentration of serum calcium with elevated parathyroid level in post renal transplant patients is diagnostic of tertiary hyperparathyoidism.
Biochemical Tests
Serum Calcium
- An elevated serum ionized calcium on routine biochemical screening in a asymptomatic patient should raise the suspicion of primary hyperparathyroidism.[1]
- Measurement of total serum calcium with automatic techniques has similar or even more reliability than serum ionized calcium measurement.
- An elevated serum calcium should be confirmed by repeat measurement.
- 20% of patients with proven primary hyperparathyroidism have normal total calcium and elevated parathyroid hormone. Serum ionized concentration measurement is helpful in such cases.[2]
- Some patients with primary hyperparathyroidism may have elevated concentration of serum parathyroid hormone with normal serum calcium, which is usually suggestive of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism.[3] Causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism should be rules out for making the diagnosis of normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism. Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism might represent the first symptomatic stage of primary hyperparathyroidism.[4]
Serum Parathyroid hormone
- Method of choice for measuring intact parathyroid hormone include Immunoradiometric assay(IMRA) or Immunochemiluminescent assay(ICMA).[5]
