Effect of vitamin D nutrition on disease indices in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism

In patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, the size of the adenoma is a major determinant of biochemical indices, disease severity, and manner of presentation. However, the large variation in adenoma weight, both within and between populations and a steady decline in parathyroid adenoma weights over time remain largely unexplained. Based on the results in a small number of patients almost two decades ago we proposed that vitamin D nutritional...
