Core Tip

Core Tip: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT)-induced acute pancreatitis (AP) in pregnancy is extremely rare. Definitive diagnosis of PHPT-induced AP in pregnancy is delayed if serum calcium is not tested during admission. PHPT-induced AP starts at the 20th gestational week. Maternal and fetal mortality was 9.3%. Maternal mortality was higher with higher serum lipase levels and earlier delivery week. Higher calcium and PTH values increased fetal/child mortality, abortions, and complex deliveries Early diagnosis and immediate intervention lead to excellent maternal and fetal outcomes.
