Parathyroid hormone(PTH) is a peptide hormone that regulates ionized calcium. Primary hyperparathyroidism, in which the bone-building-destruction balance is disturbed, is due to the uncontrolled secretion of parathormone. The systemic inflammation index (SSI) is a variable that has been validated in studies aimed at evaluating the inflammation that has been frequently mentioned recently. The disruption of this bone-making destruction process affects the inflammatory process in...
