Hiperplasia paratiroidea - Treatment

Tratamiento:

La cirugía es el tratamiento preferido. Generalmente se extirpan 3 1/2 glándulas. El tejido restante se puede implantar en el antebrazo, de manera que un médico puede operarlo fácilmente si los síntomas reaparecen. Este tejido también ayuda al cuerpo a controlar los niveles de calcio.

Expectativas (pronóstico):

El aumento en los niveles de calcio persiste o retorna aproximadamente el 20% de las veces después de la cirugía.

Complicaciones:

La hiperplasia de paratiroides causa aproximadamente el 15% de casos de hiperparatiroidismo, lo cual lleva a un aumento en los niveles de calcio en la sangre.

Las complicaciones abarcan la nefrocalcinosis y la osteítis fibroquística.

Los pacientes también pueden tener complicaciones por otros tumores endocrinos que son parte de los síndromes de neoplasia endocrina múltiple. Ver: NEM 1 y NEM 2A

Situaciones que requieren asistencia médica:

Consulte con el médico si presenta cualquier síntoma de hipercalciemia o si hay antecedentes familiares de cualquiera de los síndromes de neoplasia endocrina múltiple.
