Abstract. Due to the increased frequency of cardiovascular risk factors among patients with hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), the study of the carbohydrate metabolism pathology in this cohort of patients will allow developing optimal approaches to their timely diagnosis and treatment.
Aim: to determine the frequency and describe the clinical features of carbohydrate metabolism disorders in patients with PHPT.
Material and methods. A single-center retrospective study was performed based on medical records of 367 patients with PHPT, assessing the main indicators of mineral and carbohydrate metabolism before surgical treatment of the disease. The frequency of various disorders of carbohydrate metabolism in PHPT, the comparative characteristics of mineral parameters in patients with and without them, as well as the severity of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2 DM) in PHPT were determined. In addition, potential relationships between the parameters of various types of metabolism have been studied.
Results. The overall incidence of prediabetic disorders was 4,9% (95% CI: 3–8). T2 DM was previously diagnosed in 45 patients (12%; 95% CI: 9–16), there were no cases of first diagnosed DM. Individuals with impaired carbohydrate metabolism had a statistically significantly higher BMI and lower values of osteocalcin: 27,2 [24,2; 30,4] vs. 32,7 [28,1; 39,4] kg/m2 and 48,1 [34; 76,3] vs. 33,1 [20,8; 51,8] ng/ml, respectively (for all parameters p <0,001). Among patients with T2 DM, 36 people (80%) took hypoglycemic therapy, 14 of which received metformin monotherapy and 8 received two-component therapy, including metformin. 5 people were on insulin therapy. Diabetic nephropathy was diagnosed in 36,4% of patients, 15,4% had signs of diabetic retinopathy, symptoms of diabetic distal neuropathy were observed in 61,9% of patients with PHPT. Fasting glucose and HbA1c were negatively correlated with bone metabolism, and also expectedly depended on the glomerular filtration rate.
Conclusion. Among patients with PHPT, T2 DM is more common than in the general population. The likely reason of this may be insulin resistance, that can be caused by the effects of bone metabolites, primarily osteocalcin. In most cases, metformin makes it possible to achieve compensation for T2 DM in PHPT.
