Summary: | Purpose
To investigate Klotho level and its association with biochemical indices of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT).
Methods
Fifty PHPT patients and fifty-two age- and body mass index-(BMI) matched healthy control subjects were recruited. In addition, twenty-five PHPT patients underwent parathyroidectomy (PTX) and had 4-month follow-up visits. Intact parathyroid hormone (iPTH), 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D], calcium, albumin, corrected calcium, and Klotho levels were determined.
Results
There was no significant difference in age and BMI between PHPT subjects and controls (
p
> 0.05). PHPT patients had Klotho levels (15.4 ± 1.2 ng/mL) about 23% higher compared with those of the controls (11.9 ± 0.8 ng/mL), but this difference was not significant (
p
= 0.063). However, postmenopausal PHPT patients had 45% higher Klotho levels (17.6 ± 1.5 ng/ml) compared with postmenopausal controls (12.1 ± 0.9 ng/mL,
p
= 0.008). For postmenopausal subjects, Klotho levels had positive correlation with levels of iPTH (
r
= 0.25,
p
= 0.026) and corrected calcium (
r
= 0.34,
p
= 0.003), but negative correlation with 25(OH)D (
r
= −0.23,
p
= 0.042). After PTX, levels of iPTH and corrected calcium decreased and 25(OH)D levels increased to normal range (
