Hungry bone syndrome - a foreseen complication: theory versus practice

Year: 2015

Type: article

Abstract: Hungry bone syndrome represents a severe and rapid hypocalcemia associated with hypophosphatemia and hypomagnesaemia, which remain a challenge in the post-operative management of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). We present a case of hungry bone syndrome which turned out to be atypical in spite of the appropriate prevention and treatment management because of a neglected primary hyperparathyroidism that was associated with iron-deficiency, megaloblastic anemia and bone fibrosis. Moreover, the renal failure suggests that the severity of disease was determined by the period of hyperparathyroidism and the increased number of complications.
