Serum Periostin Levels are Significantly Higher in Patients with Primary Hyperparathyroidism and Closely Related to Osteoporosis

Conclusion This is the first study to determine that serum periostin
levels are higher in PHPT patients than those without PHPT and to demonstrate a
significant association between serum periostin levels and T scores on DEXA in
patients with PHPT. These findings will aid in detecting osteoporosis in
patients with PHPT and making the decision for surgery in PHPT patients with no
need for DEXA imaging that involves radiation. [...] Georg Thieme Verlag KG Rüdigerstraße 14, 70469 Stuttgart, GermanyArticle in Thieme eJournals: Table of contents  |  Abstract  |  Full text
