Bone Mineral Density Evolution After Successful Parathyroidectomy in Patients With Normocalcemic Primary Hyperparathyroidism

Abstract

Our results indicate for the first time that successful PTX in normocalcemic PHPT patients with osteoporosis is followed with mild but significant BMD improvement at the spine and hip at 1 year, comparable with that observed in hypercalcemic PHPT, suggesting that PTX may be beneficial in normocalcemic PHPT.
