Abstract Primary Hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is characterized by excessive parathormone (PTH) secretion and disrupted calcium homeostasis. Untargeted metabolomics offers a valuable approach to understanding the complex metabolic alterations associated with different diseases, including PHPT. Plasma untargeted metabolomics was applied to investigate the metabolic profiles of PHPT patients compared to a control group. Two complementary liquid-phase separation techniques were employed to comprehensively explore the metabolic landscape in this retrospective, single-center study. The study comprised 28 female patients diagnosed following the current guidelines of PHPT diagnosis and a group of 30 healthy females as a control group. To evaluate their association with PHPT, we identified changes in plasma metabolic profiles in patients with PHPT compared to the control group. The primary outcome measure included detecting plasma metabolites and discriminating PHPT patients from controls. The study unveiled specific metabolic imbalances that may link l-amino acids with peptic ulcer disease, gamma-glutamyls with oxidative stress, and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) with cardiovascular complications. Several metabolites, such as gamma-glutamyls, caffeine, sex hormones, carnitine, sphingosine-1-phosphate (S-1-P), and steroids, were connected with reduced bone mineral density (BMD). Metabolic profiling identified distinct metabolic patterns between patients with PHPT and healthy controls. These findings provided valuable insights into the pathophysiology of PHPT. more...
