The most important action clinicians can take to improve hyperparathyroidism care is reducing the time between a patient initially presenting elevated calcium levels to getting them into surgery.
Case Study Illustrates the Importance of Identifying All Parathyroid Glands in Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism
When treating patients with hyperparathyroidism, in particular hyperparathyroidism caused by kidney disease, it’s important to remember that patients can have more than four parathyroid glands.
AI-Based Algorithm Uses Autofluorescence Patterns to Identify Abnormal Parathyroid Glands in PHPT
