Thiazide Treatment in Primary Hyperparathyroidism—A New Indication for an Old Medication?

Abstract

Thiazides may be effective even at a dose of 12.5 mg/d and safe at doses of up to 50 mg/d for controlling hypercalciuria in patients with PHPT and may have an advantage in decreasing serum parathyroid hormone level. However, careful monitoring for hypercalcemia is required.
