This study is a randomized, double-blinded, placebo-controlled trial investigating the effects of zoledronic acid (ZOL) versus placebo in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) undergoing parathyroidectomy (PTX). PHPT is a common endocrine disorder associated with hypercalcemia, reduced bone mineral density (BMD), increased fracture risk, renal calcifications, and cardiovascular complications. While PTX remains the definitive treatment, the potential role of bisphosphonates in optimizing post-surgical outcomes remains unclear. This trial aims to evaluate whether a single infusion of ZOL prior to PTX impacts bone health, cardiovascular parameters, and renal function one year post-surgery. The primary endpoint is the change in areal bone mineral density (aBMD) at the lumbar spine one year after PTX. Secondary endpoints include changes in aBMD at other skeletal sites, volumetric BMD, bone microarchitecture, bone turnover markers, coronary artery calcium score, arterial stiffness, and renal calcifications. A total of 140 postmenopausal women and men over 50 years with PHPT and low BMD will be enrolled and randomized to receive either ZOL or placebo 2-4 weeks before PTX. Participants will undergo extensive imaging, biochemical analysis, and cardiovascular assessments at baseline and one year post-surgery. This study seeks to clarify whether ZOL improves post-surgical bone recovery or interferes with the natural bone remodeling process following PTX. Additionally, it will provide insight into the cardiovascular and renal effects of bisphosphonate therapy in PHPT patients. Findings may help guide treatment strategies for optimizing long-term skeletal and systemic health in this patient population.
