摘要
A 25-year-old Caucasian woman was admitted to our department with severe hypokalemia that was associated with hypercalcemia. An endocrinological investigation showed the coexistence of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and primary aldosteronism (PA), arising from an adenoma of the left cortical adrenal gland. The patient underwent left laparoscopic adrenalectomy, but refused the surgical neck exploration that would be required for parathyroidectomy. The post-operative course was uneventful, and the patient realized a normalization of her potassium serum level and a reduction of her blood pressure values. We herein report the important issues regarding the management of a severe electrolyte imbalance, in view of the reciprocal interaction between aldosterone and parathyroid hormone, and their combined potential for causing cardiovascular damage.
