Parathyroid scintigraphy (PS) may be used to localize hyperactive parathyroid glands preoperatively. Performance of PS in the setting of secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) is not well quantified. The performance of PS in secondary/tertiary HPT versus primary HPT may reflect physiologic as well as radiopharmaceutical kinetic differences between multigland hyperplasia versus adenoma. The aim of this study was to review the performance of PS in secondary/tertiary HPT with a comparison to that for primary HPT. Moreover, we evaluated (1) the sensitivity of PS in detecting enlarged glands, and (2) PS detectability as a function of gland weight.
