A case of Sagliker syndrome and literature review / 中南大学学报(医学版)

ABSTRACT

We analyzed the characters of Sagliker syndrome by reporting a case of Sagliker syndrome and reviewed literature. We found that Sagliker syndrome had low incidence rate, young onset age, and was more common in women. There were high levels of alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone in the blood of the patients. Patients with Sagliker syndrome with primary onset of non-diabetic nephropathy usually had chronic glomerulonephritis. We thought that secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients with Sagliker syndrome was induced by parathyroid hyperplasia, but high levels of alkaline phosphatase and parathyroid hormone in the blood of the patients with the secondary hyperparathyroidism were the main cause of Sagliker syndrome. Parathyroidectomy could stop the progress of Sagliker syndrome, but it could not reverse the occurrence of skeletal malformation.
