The possibility of a link between parathyroid hyperfunction and cellular immune functions was studied in primary hyperparathyroid (1 degree HP) patients. The effect of cimetidine on lymphocyte functions in 1 degree HP patients and control subjects was also investigated. Histamine-induced suppressor activity of lymphocytes from 1 degree HP patients was significantly greater than that of controls. Cimetidine addition to both normal and 1 degree HP lymphocyte cultures abolished histamine-induced suppression. In vivo administration of cimetidine, while ineffective towards normal lymphocytes, depressed phytohemagglutinin stimulation of 1 degree HP lymphocytes, indicating possible immunological damage caused by this drug, which is frequently used in the treatment of patients with 1 degree HP.
