It is secondary to hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands. Today, PHTP is asymptomatic in 80–90% of cases. Its repercussions are mainly renal (nephrolithiasis, nephrocalcinosis, decline in renal function) and skeletal (osteoporosis, fractures), and should be systematically investigated. Diagnosis is only biological, and in its classic form relies on the association of hypercalcemia, inappropriate PTH (normal or elevated) and hypercalciuria. Diagnosis of normocalcemic forms, where only PTH is elevated, requires elimination of secondary hyperparathyroidism and confirmation of elevated PTH on two consecutive samples, over a 3 to 6 months period. Imaging evaluation, which combines neck ultrasound with scintigraphy or <sup>18</sup>F-choline PET/CT, is of interest only if surgery is indicated. Surgical management of the hyperfunctioning parathyroid gland(s) is the only curative treatment for HPTP. Medical management concerns patients for whom surgery is not indicated, who present a surgical contraindication or who refuse surgery. The diagnosis of HPTP warrants contact with an endocrinologist to ensure its management.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54458,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Medecine Interne","volume":"46 4","pages":"Pages 204-210"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142157068","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In 20–30% of cases of primary obstetrical antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), the combination of antiplatelet aggregation and prophylactic anticoagulation fails to prevent obstetrical complications, a situation referred to as refractory obstetrical APS. This is partly due to the pro-inflammatory effects of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL) binding to decidual and trophoblastic cells, which compromise embryonic implantation and placentation. Experimental studies in vitro and in mouse models have shown that HCQ can inhibit the detrimental effect of aPLs on trophoblastic invasion, findings corroborated by retrospective observational clinical studies. However, no randomized controlled trial has evaluated the addition of HCQ to conventional therapy for refractory obstetric APS. The hypothesis of allo-immune and/or autoimmune mechanisms involved in cases of recurrent pregnancy loss (RPL) with no identified cause and in chronic intervillositis of unknown etiology (CIUE) has led to the empirical use of HCQ in these indications. However, current evidence does not support its use in unexplained RPL. A few clinical studies of low scientific evidence suggest a benefit of HCQ in CIUE, but further data are needed. Finally, pre-eclampsia (PE) is another pregnancy-related condition at risk of recurrence, and its pathogenesis also seems to involve an imbalance in immune responses. HCQ's antioxidant properties could have a positive effect on endothelial dysfunction, a key component of PE.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":54458,"journal":{"name":"Revue De Medecine Interne","volume":"46 4","pages":"Pages 220-228"},"PeriodicalIF":0.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142901504","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
