<FlashCard questions="8">
|q1= What are the two types of primary hyperparathyroidism and which is most common?
|a1=
*Glandular hyperplasia and Neoplasia
*Neoplasia is most common in the form of benign solitary adenoma
|l1= Hyperparathyroidism#Introduction
|q2= What are the two types of secondary hyperparathyroidism and how are they caused?
|a2=
*Renal – caused by hyperphosphataemia due to reduced GFR
*Nutitional – due to excess phosphorus ingestion or vitamin D3 deficiency
|l2= Hyperparathyroidism#Introduction
|q3= In what species is secondary renal hyperparathyroidism most common?
|a3= Dogs
|l3= Hyperparathyroidism#Signalment
|q4=What is the most important metabolic disturbance caused by hyperparathyroidism and what are the clinical signs?
|a4=Hypercalcaemia
*PUPD
*Anorexia
*Lethargy
*Depression
*Constipation
*Shivering
*Vomiting
*Stiff gait
*Weakness
|l4= Hyperparathyroidism#Clinical Signs
|q5=How is fibrous osteodystrophy caused?
|a5=
*Ingestion of excessive phosphorus binds calcium in the gut preventing absorption and causes release of PTH
*Bone is broken down by osteoclastic activity under the action of PTH
*The flat bones of the skull are affected first
*Fibrous tissue is laid down over the weakened bone in an attempt by the body to regain some strength
*Leaves bones brittle, prone to fracture and avulsions and often deformed
|l5= Hyperparathyroidism#Clinical Signs
|q6= What abnormality is often detectable in urine in animals with hyperparathyroidism?
|a6= Increased amounts of phosphorus and sometimes calcium
|l6= Hyperparathyroidism#Diagnosis
|q7= What is different on a blood biochemistry panel in an animal with nutritional secondary HTP compared to any other kind?
|a7= Low or normal calcium compared to high
|l7= Hyperparathyroidism#Diagnosis
|q8= How should horses with bran disease be treated?
|a8=
*Confined until radiographs are normal
*Fed 1:1-3:1 ratio of Ca:P
*Fed low oxalates or supplemented with limestone
|l8= Hyperparathyroidism#Treatment
