Celiac disease and primary hyperparathyroidism: an infrequent association

Objective. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and celiac disease (CD) are two distinct medical conditions that can affect bone health. While PHPT leads to excessive calcium levels and bone abnormalities, CD impairs calcium and vitamin D absorption due to small intestine damage. Case report. We prese...

Sumario:Objective. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and celiac disease (CD) are two distinct medical conditions that can affect bone health. While PHPT leads to excessive calcium levels and bone abnormalities, CD impairs calcium and vitamin D absorption due to small intestine damage. Case report. We present a case of a 49-year-old woman diagnosed with osteoporosis who was found to have both PHPT and CD. The patient underwent a successful minimally invasive parathyroidectomy, which resulted in decreased parathyroid hormone levels. Conclusion. This case highlights the rare coexistence of PHPT and CD and emphasizes the importance of considering secondary causes of osteoporosis in patients with low bone mass. Further studies are needed to explore the underlying mechanisms and potential links between PHPT and CD.
