Investigating subtle kidney injury in primary hyperparathyroidism by means of sensitive and specific biomarkers

Kidney involvement is a common complication in primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). No study so far has assessed the prevalence of kidney injury developing before the reduction in glomerular filtration rate (GFR) in PHPT. The study was aimed at establishing the potential role of biomarkers of kidney injury in detecting subtle renal damage in patients with PHPT.Cross-sectional study.A total of 69 postmenopausal patients with PHPT and 41 healthy...
