Evaluation of the thiazide challenge test to differentiate primary from hypercalciuria-related hyperparathyroidism

CONCLUSION: the TCT aids in discriminating patients with PHPT from those with SHPT-IH based on a rise in serum calcium. Other parameters are not different between both groups. Larger prospective trials are necessary to further define the diagnostic potential of the TCT, its most appropriate biochemical outcome variables, and decision cut-offs.PMID:38605120 | DOI:10.1210/clinem/dgae239
