Summary
Elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) and calcium levels in hyperthyroid patients normalized after treatment normalized thyroid function. This suggests thyrotoxicosis can cause secondary hyperparathyroidism, not primary hyperparathyroidism.
Area of Science:
- Endocrinology
- Thyroid Disorders
- Parathyroid Disorders
Background:
- Hypercalcemia and hyperthyroidism can coexist.
- Elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels are observed in some patients with hypercalcemia and hyperthyroidism.
