Mulder H, Koster J, Hackeng WHL, van der Schaar H. Normocalcaemic hyperparathyroidism after parathyroidectomy: a retrospective study. Scand J Clin Lab Invest 1993; 53: 607-610.
Forty-eight patients with proven hyperparathyroidism underwent parathyroidectomy. All patients were post-operatively normocalcaemic and free of symptoms due to their pre-operative hypercalcaemic state. However, 20 (42%) post-operative patients still had increased serum PTH and low serum phosphate levels.
