Histologic parathyroid abnormalities in an autopsy series.

摘要: The parathyroid glands from 422 subjects without clinical, biochemical, or advanced histologic signs of renal disease were dissected at autopsy. evaluated histologically in relation to the subjects' age, sex, features, other diseases, and medical therapy. Normal generally had diffuse cellular arrangements, with variable fat cell content. Increased nodularity was observed, especially enlarged glands. Hyperplasia present 7 per cent adenomas 2.4 cent. Hyperplastic often nodular asymmetric, numbers oxyphil cells frequently increased. Some large nodules indistinguishable adenomas. Serum calcium levels elevated hyperplastic containing nodules. findings seem indicate that tissue is a sign abnormality may arise such hyperplasia. more common elderly those slight moderate nephrosclerosis. Other diseases therapy not found be correlated weight features.
