Nephrolithiasis in PHPT

Abstract

Sir,

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common disorder and is the third most common endocrine disorder after diabetes mellitus and thyroid disorders.  This common endocrine disorder has scaled down into an asymptomatic disease revealed by routine biochemical evaluation of patients for a variety of skeletal and non-skeletal symptoms in much of the western world. However, in India, and similar developing regions of world it continues to be for the most part an overtly symptomatic disease with skeletal, renal and other organ system manifestations. JMS 2018: 21 (2):129
