Since the renal action of parathyroid hormone is known to be mediated via 3',5'-adenosine monophosphate (cyclic AMP), urinary cyclic AMP studies were used to determine proximal tubular maturation. Ten formula fed full-term male infants showed a thirty- to sixtyfold increase in phosphate clearance and excretion with a three- to fourfold increase in urinary cyclic AMP comparing their first and third day 24-hour urines (2.37 ± 0.41 to 6.93 ± 0.96 Nm/mg creatinine M. ± S.E.M. first and third days respectively). Seven breast-fed infants showed cyclic AMP excretion of 3.6 ± 0.3 S.E.M. and 6.5 ± 0.3 S.E.M. on Day 1 and Day 3 respectively, showing an insignificant difference to the formula-fed infants. An additional 10 formula-fed infants 5 to 10 days of age excreted 7.0 ± 0.9 S.E.M. Nm/mg of creatinine which is comparable to the 3 to 4 days of age group. The threefold increase in cyclic AMP after the first day of life may possibly reflect increasing parathyroid renal responsiveness. One- and 3-day-old infants and adults were given a 1-hour parathyroid (PTH) infusion (5 U/kg/hr) with measurement of urinary cyclic AMP in time periods before and after the infusions. Peak increases in responses from baseline of cyclic AMP were 1.64 ± 0.34, 7.1 ± 1.5, and 36.0 ± 0.73 Nm/mg of creatinine M. ± range on first day, third day, and in adults respectively with similar relationships of increasing phosphate excretion. Thus, there is most likely a maturational renal proximal tubular responsiveness to PTH on the cellular cyclic AMP level.

1. The maximum tubular reabsorption capacity for phosphate relative to glomerular filtration rate (Tm,P/GFR) was found to range from 0·8 to 1·5 mmol/l in 32 normal fasting subjects. In 14 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and five patients with hyperparathyroidism secondary to vitamin D deficiency or malabsorption values ranged from 0·2 to 0·8 mmol/l. 2. Plasma parathyroid hormone concentrations measured by an immunoradiometric technique ranged from <0·15 to 0·9 ng/ml in the normal subjects and from 0·5 to 10 ng/ml in the patients with hyperparathyroidism. There was no correlation, however, between plasma parathyroid hormone and Tm,P/GFR in either normal or abnormal groups. 3. Plasma parathyroid hormone was lower in 11 out of 13 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism 3 or 4 weeks after tumour removal than immediately before the operation. In all cases there was a rise in Tm,P/GFR, though not all values were normalized. 4. Changes in plasma parathyroid hormone, Tm,P/GFR and plasma and urinary cyclic AMP concentrations were measured during infusion of bovine parathyroid hormone into normal fasting subjects. Phosphate reabsorption fell markedly in response to low doses of parathyroid hormone (0·5 i.u. h−1 kg−1), higher doses (4 i.u. h−1 kg−1) producing little additional change in Tm,P/GFR despite large changes in cyclic AMP excretion. At the highest doses used (8 i.u. h−1 kg−1) apparent saturation of the renal adenylate cyclase occurred. During an infusion of hormone, 0·25 i.u. h−1 kg−1 over 3 h, a fall in Tm,P/GFR was recorded at concentrations of immunoreactive parathyroid hormone within the normal range for endogeneous hormone. At such concentrations it was not possible to detect significant changes in either plasma or urine cyclic AMP. 5. It is concluded that parathyroid hormone is an important regulator of renal phosphate handling under normal physiological conditions. Such a regulatory process has been implicated in the control of vitamin D metabolism.

ABSTRACT Stop-flow studies were done in three dogs before and after a parathyroid hormone (PTH) infusion. The urine cyclic adenosine 3′,5′-monophosphate (cyclic AMP) to inulin U/P ratios did not change during the control stop-flow but with PTH rose sharply and significantly in the proximal tubular samples. The rise in cyclic AMP to inulin U/P ratios was correlated with the fall in phosphorus concentration in the same samples. The PTH induced urinary cyclic AMP enters the tubular fluid in the same proximal area of the tubule in which PTH is known to affect phosphate reabsorption.

Summary Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) is a dominantly inherited, lifelong benign disorder characterised by asymptomatic hypercalcaemia, relative hypocalciuria and variable parathyroid hormone levels. It is caused by loss-of-function pathogenic variants in the calcium-sensing receptor (CASR) gene. Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterised by variable hypercalcaemia in the context of non-suppressed parathyroid hormone levels. Unlike patients with FHH, patients with severe hypercalcaemia due to PHPT are usually symptomatic and are at risk of end-organ damage affecting the kidneys, bone, heart, gastrointestinal system and CNS. Surgical resection of the offending parathyroid gland(s) is the treatment of choice for PHPT, while dietary adjustment and reassurance is the mainstay of management for patients with FHH. The occurrence of both FHH and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in the same patient has been described. We report an interesting case of FHH due to a novel CASR variant confirmed in a mother and her two daughters and the possible coexistence of FHH and PHPT in the mother, highlighting the challenges involved in diagnosis and management. Learning points: Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcaemia (FHH) and primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) can coexist in the same patient. Urinary calcium creatinine clearance ratio can play a role in distinguishing between PHPT and FHH. Genetic testing should be considered in managing patients with PHPT and FHH where the benefit may extend to the wider family. Family segregation studies can play an important role in the reclassification of variants of uncertain significance. Parathyroidectomy has no benefit in patients with FHH and therefore, it is important to exclude FHH prior to considering surgery. For patients with coexisting FHH and PHPT, parathyroidectomy will reduce the risk of complications from the severe hypercalcaemia associated with PHPT.
