Depressive and anxiety disorders in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

CONCLUSIONS: A relationship between PHPT and depression was confirmed. Such a relationship was not confirmed for anxiety. A relationship between the severity of depression and the serum calcium ion and parathyroid hormone level was also not confirmed. A statistically significant negative correlation between the severity of anxiety and the serum calcium ion level in the whole population of patients, and an additional positive correlation between the serum parathyroid hormone level and the severity of anxiety in women were confirmed. Self-rating tests are not sufficient for screening for depressive disorders in PHPT patients.PMID:33740798 | DOI:10.12740/PP/OnlineFirst/111932
