Reliable pre-operative localisation of parathyroid tumours can be of value in surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism, and particularly so where re-exploration of the neck is required. Neck vein catheterisation and parathyroid hormone radioimmunoassay have been suggested as a sensitive means of tumour localisation, and we report our experience of the technique over the last five years. A total of 46 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism had 50 studies performed with positive localisation and a pre-operative prediction made on 38 occasions (76%). Forty-two operations were carried out and a parathyroid tumour confirmed in 39 cases for a localisation efficiency of 69 per cent. No negative neck exploration followed a positive localisation. Twelve studies were performed in patients with renal osteodystrophy and localisation to a single site was achieved on only three occasions. It is concluded that neck vein catheterisation and parathyroid hormone assay can correctly localise parathyroid tumours in most cases of primary hyperparathyroidism, but is is suggested that its use be restricted to selected cases such as those subjects with previous negative neck exploration or patients for whom prolonged or repeated surgery may be a particular hazard.

Accurate measurement of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is crucial for therapeutic decision-making in patients with chronic kidney disease-mineral and bone disorder (CKD-MBD). The second-generation PTH assays, often referred to as “intact PTH” assays, are the current standard and most available assays in clinical practice. However, intact PTH assays measure both full-length biologically active PTH and heterogeneous PTH fragments in the circulation, providing the equivocal value of PTH measurement in patients with CKD-MBD. Due to the variability of PTH assays, preanalytical sample errors, and the phenomenon of end-organ PTH hyporesponsiveness, current CKD-MBD guidelines recommend a wide range for serum PTH targets (2–9 the upper normal limit of the intact PTH assay) in dialysis patients to diminish the risk of developing adynamic bone disease. Nevertheless, a sizeable proportion of CKD patients still experience renal osteodystrophy despite having serum PTH levels within the recommended range. The primary cause of this inconsistency is the analytical interference of various PTH fragments and oxidized PTH forms that considerably accumulate in CKD patients. Therefore, a new mass spectrometry-based assay, which is capable of specifically measuring the whole spectra of PTH fragments, can potentially improve diagnostic accuracy for renal osteodystrophy. However, the effects of different PTH fragments on bone metabolism, vascular calcification, and mortality in CKD patients warrant further research.
