Aim: Osteoporosis is common in postmenopausal women and in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). PHPT is more prevalent in postmenopausal women. Aim of the present study was to investigate possible predictors of bone mineral density (BMD) in women with PHPT.Methods: 166 consecutive women with PHPT [age: 59.5±13.5 years; Asymptomatic/Symptomatic: 84/82; premenopausal/postmenopausal: 31/135; BMI: 25.6±4.8 kg/m2; PTH: 234.2±287.3 pg/...

Objective: Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) and thyroid diseases are common in the general population. It is difficult to establish whether they occur in the same patient because of a direct relationship or just due to the widespread prevalence of both conditions. The reported prevalence of the concomitant occurrence of these two clinical conditions is widely scattered (ranging 17–84%), especially due to the heterogeneous criteria for patient selection. We aimed to eval...
