Joint and muscle involvement in primary hyperparathyroidism

In addition to the classical symptoms such as osteoporosis, renal stones and gastric ulcers primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) could be presented with “non-classical” manifestations, including muscle and joint pathology. Moreover, in some cases the articular and neuromuscular impairment might be the main signs of the disease. Despite the long research history the true prevalence of these PHPT complications remains unknown. Discrepancies in studies results may be due the non-specific and different symptoms that patients complain about, various study design, uncorrected comorbid conditions, the different PHPT populations, a wide methods variety in the assessment of neuromuscular and articular involvement. However, the underestimated muscle dysfunction and joint damage can lead to decreased quality of life and disability, primarily from fragility fractures. In the majority of the studies parathyroidectomy improved muscle strength, but there is no clear results for articular manifestations. Basic research and large randomized control trials are limited. The main goal of this review is to summarize currently available data on muscle and joint involvement in patients with PHPT.
