Hyperparathyroidism (cont.)

Follow up

Follow-up should be discussed between the patient and the physician. If medical management or observation is the plan of action, regular visits a few months apart should be scheduled, with immediate assessment if symptoms worsen.

If surgery is planned, preoperative assessments will be necessary, in addition to imaging studies to localize which parathyroid gland is involved. Postoperatively, visits are frequent in the first few months. Once stabilization has been achieved, follow-up visits will be less frequent.
