Does Vitamin D Deficiency Cause Primary Hyperparathyroidism?

Abstract

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is the third most common endocrine disease. It is caused by a single parathyroid adenoma in 85% to 90% of the cases. Vitamin D deficiency (VDD) is a common finding in PHPT with an incidence varying in the literature from 53% to 77%. The aim of our study is to describe a cohort of patients with PHTP with and without VDD.
