Abstract
It is concluded that the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism can be made with a very high confidence rate by documenting an increased serum PTH level with an increased ionized or total calcium level in pHPT, increased serum PTH level with low or normal calcium level and an underlying renal failure or vitamin D deficiency in sHPT. Early management of HPT is important because many of the nonspecific complains, or classic symptoms, or metabolic conditions often improve after proper control of hyperparathyroidism.
