Overview
There are three types of hyperparathyroidism (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and should be differentiated between each other. Hyperparathyroidism should be differentiated from other causes of hypercalcemia. Causes of hypercalcemia other than hyperparathyroidism include familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia related to malignancy, medication-induced hypercalcemia, hypercalcemia due to nutritional disorders, and hypercalcemia related to granulomatous diseases.
Differentiating hyperparathyroidism from other diseases
There are three types of hyperparathyroidism (primary, secondary, and tertiary) and should be differentiated between each other. Hyperparathyroidism should be differentiated from other causes of hypercalcemia. Causes of hypercalcemia include:
- Parathyroid related
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Primary hyperparathyroidism
- Secondary hyperparathyroidism
- Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
- Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
- Hyperparathyroidism
- Non-parathyroid related
- Malignancy
- Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy
- Osteolytic tumors
- Production of calcitriol by tumors
- Ectopic parathyroid hormone production
- Medication-induced
- Nutritional
- Granulomatous disease
- Surgical
- Immobilization
- Malignancy
Differential diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism on the basis of hypercalcemia | ||||||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Disorder | Mechanism of hypercalcemia | Clinical features | Laboratory findings | Imaging & diagnostic modalities | ||||
PTH | Calcium | Phosphate | Other findings | |||||
Hyperparathyroidism | Primary hyperparathyroidism | Increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from a primary process in parathyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium. |
|
↑ | ↑ | ↓/Normal | Normal/↑ calcitriol | Findings of bone resorption:
Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland:
Predicting post-operative success:
|
Secondary hyperparathyroidism | Increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from a secondary process. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium. |
|
↑ | ↓/Normal | ↑ | -- | ||
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism | Continuous elevation of parathyroid hormone (PTH) even after successful treatment of the secondary cause of elevated parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium. |
|
↑ | ↑ | ↑ | -- | ||
Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia |

Malignancy[1] | Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy[2][3][4] | Tumor cells secretes parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) which has similar action as parathyroid hormone. |

Osteolytic tumors | Multiple myeloma produces osteolysis of bones causing hypercalcemia. Osteolytic metastasis can cause bone resorption causing hypercalcemia. |

Production of calcitirol | Some tumors has ectopic activity of 1-alpha-hydroxylase leading to increased production of calcitriol. Calcitriol is active form of vitamin D and causes hypercalcemia. |

Ectopic parathyroid hormone[5] | Some tumors leads to ectopic production of parathyroid hormone. |
