There are three types of hyperparathyroidism and should be differentiated between each other. Hyperparathyroidism should be differeniated from other causes of hypercalcemia. Causes of hypercalcemia include:

  • Parathyroid related
    • Primary hyperparathyroidism
      • Typical primary hyperparathyroidism
      • Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia
    • Secondary hyperparathyroidism
    • Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
  • Non-parathyroid related
    • Malignancy
      • Para-neoplastic syndrome: Parathyroid hormone related peptide
      • Hypercalcemia due to bone destruction
    • Medication induced
      • Thiazide diuretics
      • Lithium
    • Nutritional
      • Milk alkali syndrome
      • Vitamin D toxicity

Differential diagnosis

Differential diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism on the basis of hypercalcemia
Disorder Mechanism of hypercalcemia Clinical features Laboratory findings Imaging & diagnostic modalities
Hyperparathyroidism Primary hyperparathyroidism Increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from a primary process in parathyroid gland. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium.
  • Usually asymptomatic
  • Hypercalcemia detected on routine biochemical panel
  • ↑ PTH
  • ↑ Calcium
  • ↓/N Phosphate
  • N/↑ calcitriol
Findings of bone resorption:
  • X-ray
  • DXA

Preoperative localization of hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland:

  • Non-Invasive
    • Tc-99m sestamibi scintigraphy
    • Neck ultrasound
    • 4D-CT
    • SPET(P-SPECT)
    • PET
    • MRI
  • Invasive:
    • Super sensitive venous sampling
    • Selective arteriography
    • Angiography

Predicting post-operative success:

  • Intraoperative parathyroid hormone monitoring
Secondary hyperparathyroidism Increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) from a secondary process. Parathyroid hormone causes increase in serum calcium.
  • May present with history of:
    • Chronic renal failure
    • Vitamin D deficiency
  • PTH
  • ↓/N Calcium
  • ↑ Phosphate
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.
  • Usually present with history of:
    • Kidney transplant
  • Usually hyperplasia of all four parathyroid glands
  • PTH
  • Calcium
  • ↑ Phosphate
Malignancy[1] Humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy[2][3][4] Tumor cells secretes parathyroid hormone related protein (PTHrP) which has similar action as parathyroid hormone.
  • Most common cause of malignancy related hypercalcemia.
  • Usually present in solid tumors
  • PTHrP
  • Calcium
  • /N Phosphate
  • N/↑ Calcitriol
  • Chest X-ray
  • CT scan
  • MRI
Osteolytic tumors Multiple myeloma produces osteolysis of bones causing hypercalcemia. Osteolytic metastasis can cause bone resorption causing hypercalcemia.
  • Most commonly present in multiple myeloma and breast cancer.
  • PTH
  • Calcium
  • DXA
  • X-ray
  • Mammography
  • Ultrasound
  • ESR
  • Serum protein electrophoresis
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.
  • Most commonly present in lymphomas and in some ovarian germ cell tumors.
  • Calcium
  • ↑ Calcitriol
  • CT scan
  • MRI
Ectopic parathyroid hormone[5] Some tumors leads to ectopic production of parathyroid hormone.
  • In rare instances, small cell carcinoma of lung may produce hypercalcemia by this process.
  • ↑ PTH
  • ↑ Calcium
  • ↓/N Phosphate
  • N/↑ Calcitriol
  • Chest X-ray
  • CT scan
  • MRI
Medication induced Lithium[6] Lithium lowers urinary calcium and causes hypercalcemia. Lithium has been reported to cause an increase in parathyroid hormones and enlargement if parathyroid gland after weeks to months of therapy.
  • History of mood disorder
  • ↑ PTH
  • ↑ Calcium
  • Lithium levels
Thiazide diuretics Thiazide diuretics lowers urinary calcium excretion and causes hypercalcemia
  • History of cardiac disorder
  • Rarely causes hypercalcemia
  • ↑ Calcium
--
Nutritional Milk-alkali syndrome Hypercalcemia is be caused by high intake of calcium carbonate
  • History of
    • High milk intake
    • Excess calcium intake for treating:
      • Osteoporosis
      • Dyspepsia
  • May lead to metabolic alkalosis and renal insufficiency.
  • ↑ Calcium
  • Renal function test
Vitamin D toxicity Excess vitamin D causes increased absorption of calcium from intestine causing hypercalcemia.
  • History of:
    • Excess intake vitamin D
    • Excess milk fortified with vitamin D[7]
    • Topical application of vitamin D analogue analogue calcipotriol[8]
  • Calcium
  • ↑ Vitamin D (calcidiol and/or calcitriol)
--
Granulomatous disease Sarcoidosis[9] Hypercalcemia is causes by endogeous production of calcitriol by disease-activated macrophages.
  • History of:
    • Cough
    • Dyspnea
    • Chest pain
    • Tiredness or weakness
    • Fever
    • Weight loss
  • Calcium
  • ↑ Calcitriol
  • ↑ ACE levels
  • Chest X-ray
  • Biopsy
