Abstract
Objectives: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a disorder marked by chronic parathyroid hormone hypersecretion, which affects bone turnover and remodelling processes. With a loss of bone density and an increase in bone porosity, the cortical compartment is most severely impacted. The study's goal is to assess PHPT's effects on the volumetric bone mineral density (vBMD) of the femur's trabecular compartment as well as the vBMD and thickness of the cortical bone.
Methods: This is a retrospective case-control study, valuating age, biochemical doses, anthropometric measurements, and bone measurements. Between 2011 and 2016, 74 Caucasian Italian women and men with PHPT were sought out. Biochemical analyses were added to bone mineral density (BMD) values found in the lumbar spine and femoral neck. Proximal femur parameters such as cortical and trabecular volumetric (v) BMD, cortical thickness (CTh) and surface (s) BMD were analyzed by 3D-DXA software (3D-SHAPER Medical, Spain).
Results: The findings showed a negative correlation between PHPT patients and controls, which was equally affecting the cortical and trabecular compartments. This correlation was especially evident in the areal BMD (aBMD) and vBMD measurements. Nonetheless, no appreciable correlation was found between the cortical level and the thickness of the cortical bone.
Conclusions: Parathormone (PHT) levels had an adverse effect on the cortical, trabecular volumetric density in this investigation, as was expected. Cortical thickness, however, is unaffected significantly. The literature and these findings are consistent.
