Predictors of nephrolithiasis, osteoporosis and mortality in primary hyperparathyroidism.

CONCLUSIONS: Screening for nephrolithiasis has a low yield, particularly in lower risk patients. Osteoporosis is only minimally associated with biochemical indices of PHPT. Mortality is associated with higher calcium (and possibly vitamin D deficiency) but not PTH. PMID: 30916764 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
