      research Parathyroid Adenoma with Coeliac Disease: Primary or Quaternary Hyperparathyroidism?

      2 citations , January 2012 in “PubMed”
      This document reported a case of a 14-year-old girl with coeliac disease who presented with severe hypercalcaemia due to a parathyroid adenoma. The patient exhibited delayed puberty and growth retardation, with laboratory tests showing iron deficiency anaemia, low vitamin D, high parathyroid hormone levels, and hypercalcaemia. A gluten-free diet and excision of the parathyroid adenoma normalized her calcium levels and initiated puberty. The case suggested a potential progression from tertiary hyperparathyroidism to adenoma formation, termed "quaternary hyperparathyroidism," highlighting the need for further studies on the relationship between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism.

      research Parathyroid Adenoma With Coeliac Disease: Primary or Quaternary Hyperparathyroidism?

      January 2012
      This document reported a case of a 14-year-old girl with coeliac disease who presented with severe hypercalcaemia due to a parathyroid adenoma. The patient exhibited delayed puberty and growth retardation, with laboratory tests showing iron deficiency anaemia, low vitamin D, high parathyroid hormone levels, and hypercalcaemia. A gluten-free diet was initiated, and her calcium levels normalized following the excision of the parathyroid adenoma. After four months on the diet, she began to mature and enter puberty. The study suggested that autonomous four-gland hyperplasia or tertiary hyperparathyroidism might progress to adenoma formation, potentially termed "quaternary hyperparathyroidism." Further research was needed to explore the link between coeliac disease and hyperparathyroidism.

      The user experienced significant hair loss on the scalp, eyebrows, eyelashes, and pubic area, along with itchy, flaky skin and red patches. They have a history of eczema and dermatitis and suspect that stopping shampoo use and taking Ritalin may have contributed to the issue.

      community If You Have DUPA, PLEASE READ THIS: Everyone Should Be Scalp Biopsied

      Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.

      A 41-year-old is addressing hair loss by eating better, using a dermaroller, and taking Nutrafol, but many suggest adding finasteride and minoxidil for better results. The conversation includes mixed opinions on Nutrafol's effectiveness, with some recommending pharmaceutical treatments like finasteride and minoxidil for more significant hair regrowth.

      community Month 6 on oral fin/min no stabilisation at all still shedding big

      in Chat  24 upvotes 1 year ago
      The user has been on oral finasteride and minoxidil for six months without seeing hair loss stabilization and has started taking dutasteride twice a week. Other users shared their experiences with hair loss treatments, with one suggesting dutasteride might be more effective than finasteride.
