Abstract

Dear Editor, Acute pancreatitis induced by hypercalcemia due to primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a very rare condition, and its prevalence is estimated to be between 1.5% and 7%.1 Studies from India report an incidence between 6.8% and 12%.2 However, in patients with PHPT and resulting hypercalcemia, pancreatitis occurs 10 to 20 times more often than in the general population. Normally, hypocalcemia is expected during an attack of acute pancreatitis and hypercalcemia is a strong clue for suspecting PHPT. Hence, elevated serum calcium associated with pancreatitis should alert the physician to either hyperparathyroidism or malignancy.3 The metabolic causes of acute pancreatitis include diabetic ketoacidosis, hypertriglyceridemia, and hypercalcemia with or without hyperparathyroidism.4 Gallstones and alcoholism are the commonest etiological agents of pancreatitis in India. Serum calcium is not routinely measured in all patients diagnosed with the first attack of acute pancreatitis as it is not the common cause. Some patients suffer from 2 or more attacks of pancreatitis before the diagnosis of PHPT.
