Discussion of treatments for Hyperparathyroidism:
Surgery to remove the enlarged gland (or glands)
is the only treatment for the disorder and cures it in 95 percent of
cases. However, some patients who have mild disease may not need immediate
treatment, according to a panel of experts convened by the National
Institutes of Health in 1990. Patients who are symptom-free, whose blood
calcium is only slightly elevated, and whose kidneys and bones are normal,
may wish to talk to their doctor about long-term monitoring. In the
panel's recommendation, monitoring would consist of clinical evaluation
and measurement of calcium levels and kidney function every 6 months,
annual abdominal x-ray, and bone mass measurement after 1 to 2 years. If
the disease shows no signs of worsening after 1 to 3 years, the interval
between exams may be lengthened. If the patient and doctor choose
long-term followup, the patient should try to drink lots of water, get
plenty of exercise, and avoid certain diuretics, such as the thiazides.
Immobilization and gastrointestinal illness with vomiting or diarrhea can
cause calcium levels to rise, and if these conditions develop, patients
with hyperparathyroidism should seek medical attention.
