Prevalence of Primary Hyperparathyroidism in Patients with Diabetes Mellitus

The prevalence of previous or current primary hyperparathyroidism in 704 patients (390 male) with proven diabetes mellitus was 0.99 % (7 patients, all female). One patient was known to have both disorders when the study commenced and 6 were discovered from the past history or by screening for hyperc...

Description
Summary:The prevalence of previous or current primary hyperparathyroidism in 704 patients (390 male) with proven diabetes mellitus was 0.99 % (7 patients, all female). One patient was known to have both disorders when the study commenced and 6 were discovered from the past history or by screening for hypercalcaemia. Diabetes was diagnosed at age 12 years or later, hyperparathyroidism from 45 years. Two patients were insulin‐dependent. Diabetes preceded hyperparathyroidism in 3 patients, followed it in 2, and occurred during the same year in 2. The prevalence is significantly greater (p  0.05). This increased three‐ to fourfold prevalence of hyperparathyroidism in diabetes arises mainly from females, in whom the prevalences at age 15 years or over and at age 45 years or over are 2.23 % and 2.54 %, respectively. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
