A Rare Presentation Of Primary Hyperparathyroidism Medullary Nephrocalcinosis And Distal Renal Tubular Acidosis

Umamaheswari H.D .

Abstract


Abstract

This is a case of primary hyperparathyroidism in a 60 years old man due to a solitary functioning parathyroid adenoma presenting with Medullary Nephrocalcinosis leading to distal renal tubular acidosis manifesting with Hypokalaemic periodic paralysis. The patient underwent a minimally invasive selective Parathyroidectomy that resulted in full reversal of Hypercalcaemia and hyperparathyroidism. Patient is currently on frequent follow-up for monitoring of electrolyte abnormalities and gradual resolution of Nephrocalcinosis.
