In order for the tumor to be removed surgically it must first be localized. To do this often requires a procedure known as parathyroid arteriography and parathyroid venous sampling.\n\nThis procedure begins by placing a catheter through a blood vessel in the groin. The catheter is then guided through blood vessels to reach the area of the neck. The blood vessels in this region flow in and out of the thyroid and parathyroid. An X-ray dye is then injected through the catheter into the arteries of the thyroid/parathyroid (parathyroid arteriography). The alternative is taking a small sample of the veins found in this same region (parathyroid venous sampling).\n\nResearchers prefer parathyroid arteriography because it causes less discomfort to the patient and requires less experience to do the procedure. However, parathyroid arteriography provides positive results in only 50% of patients undergoing the procedure. Parathyroid venous sampling provides greater amounts of positive results but the readings are often imprecise. Parathyroid tissue secretes a hormone known as PTH (parathyroid hormone). The release of PTH is stimulated by low levels of calcium in the blood.\n\nThe idea behind the study is to inject a dye into the area of the parathyroid that will cause a release of PTH. Several parathyroid venous samplings will be taken following the abrupt elevation of PTH. This will provide information on the effectiveness of an intraarterial hypocalcemic stimulus (injection of dye into the arteries of the parathyroid when calcium blood levels are low) and venous sampling as techniques to improve localizing parathyroid tumors.", "detailedDescription"=>"Although noninvasive diagnostic studies \\[ultrasound (US), computed tomography (CT), sestamibi scanning, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)\\] detect parathyroid pathology in one-half the patients referred to NIH with recurrent or persistent hyperparathyroidism (1), the invasive studies (direct aspiration for PTH, arteriography, venous sampling) must be performed in the remaining patients to provide definitive preoperative localization (2). Arteriography is positive in less than half the patients who must then proceed to parathyroid venous sampling, a technique requiring broad experience and yielding positive, but imprecise results as regards localization. The abrupt lowering of calcium in blood perfusing a parathyroid adenoma should stimulate the release of PTH which could be detected by simultaneous venous sampling. This principle, the intraarterial injection of a secretagogue with subsequent sampling for released hormone, has been applied successfully in the localization of insulinomas (3) and gastrinomas (4). In fact, portal venous sampling is no longer performed in this group of patients, having been completely replaced by the intraarterial injection of secretin or calcium as appropriate secretagogues for gastrin and insulin.\n\nSince release of PTH from parathyroid adenomas is stimulated by hypocalcemic perfusions, we propose to perform serial venous sampling from a catheter positioned in the SVC to detect abrupt elevations of PTH following the injection of contrast agent into each of the vessels selectively catheterized at the time of parathyroid arteriography (superior thyroid arteries, thyrocervical trunks, internal mammary arteries). Samples from the SVC catheter will be obtained at 20 second intervals up to one minute and in some patients simultaneous peripheral samples. An elevation of parathyroid hormone 1.5 times above the baseline will be considered diagnostic. This technique will be applied routinely at each injection of standard parathyroid arteriography even in the absence of an angiographically-visualized adenoma: an elevation of PTH will provide localizing information comparable to venous sampling. In addition, when any of the imaging studies suggest that a particular anatomic site is the likely location of the patient's adenoma, sodium citrate, a calcium chelating agent, will be injected into the artery supplying this region. Blood samples will be obtained in similar fashion to those samples taken with contrast injections to measure PTH release following sodium citrate injection and determine whether this is a more effective hypocalcemic stimulant."}, "eligibilityModule"=>{"sex"=>"ALL", "stdAges"=>["CHILD", "ADULT", "OLDER_ADULT"], "healthyVolunteers"=>false, "eligibilityCriteria"=>"INCLUSION CRITERIA:\n\nPatients over the age of 2 who are enrolled in 91-DK-0085, \"Studies of Hyperparathyroidism and Related Disorders\", or patients who are undergoing parathyroid localization as part of routine patient care while enrolled in other Clinical protocols will be considered for the study.\n\nEXCLUSION CRITERIA:\n\nPatients will be excluded if:\n\nThere is any contraindication to arteriography.\n\nThe Patient is pregnant."}, "identificationModule"=>{"nctId"=>"NCT00001394", "briefTitle"=>"Using X-Ray Dye to Locate Hidden Parathyroid Tumors", "organization"=>{"class"=>"NIH", "fullName"=>"National Institutes of Health Clinical Center (CC)"}, "officialTitle"=>"Use of Hypocalcemic Intraarterial Infusion Into the Thyroid/Parathyroid Bed to Localize Occult Parathyroid Adenomas", "orgStudyIdInfo"=>{"id"=>"940195"}, "secondaryIdInfos"=>[{"id"=>"94-DK-0195"}]}, "contactsLocationsModule"=>{"locations"=>[{"zip"=>"20892", "city"=>"Bethesda", "state"=>"Maryland", "country"=>"United States", "facility"=>"National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)", "geoPoint"=>{"lat"=>38.98067, "lon"=>-77.10026}}]}, "sponsorCollaboratorsModule"=>{"leadSponsor"=>{"name"=>"National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK)", "class"=>"NIH"}}}}
