METHOD OF DIAGNOSING PATHOLOGICALLY CHANGED PARATHYROID GLANDS Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC A61B10/02 

FIELD: medicine.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to field of medicine, in particular to low-invasive methods in surgical endocrinology. In order to diagnose pathologically changed parathyroid glands carried out are: fine-needle aspiration puncture biopsy under ultrasonic navigation; washing from aspiration needle with reagent; determination of parathyroid hormone are performed. Washing from needle is carried out with specially prepared "draining serum" from healthy donors with preliminarily known level of parathyroid hormone. Determination of parathyroid hormone level is performed by subtraction of mean arithmetic value of parathyroid hormone of "draining serum" from obtained value of parathyroid hormone in mixture of "draining serum" and contents of aspiration needle. Level of parathyroid hormone at which pathologically changed parathyroid gland is diagnosed is 65 pg/ml and higher or value, higher than is contained in blood serum of said patient.

EFFECT: method increases accuracy of diagnostics of pathologically changed parathyroid glands due to determination in obtained material of parathyroid hormone level with small trauma due to targeted aspiration of contents.
