| Popis: | Using a venous occlusion air-filled plethysmograph we measured the blood flow in the limbs in 10 patients with established primary hyperparathyroidism and control subjects. The patients had highly raised ionized calcium and immunoreactive parathormone levels, and the diagnosis was verified at operation. In all patients resting blood flow values in the limbs were increased compared with control subjects. Peak blood flow after 5 min of ischemia was also increased, however, not significantly. This clinical study supports previous studies on a vasoactive effect of parathormone. |
