Number of cells in parathyroid tissue in primary hyperparathyroidism cases and its relationship with serum calcium value

The relationship between serum calcium (Ca) level to serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), phosphorus (P) levels and tissue properties of the parathyroid gland is unknown in primary hyperparathyroidism cases. Revealing this relationship may be useful for understanding the etiopathogenesis of primary hyperparathyroidism and determining the time of treatment. Ninety patients (71 females, 19 males, age range; 27-73 years, average age; 46) who underwent single gland excision with the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism were studied. The patients were divided into 2 groups as serum Ca level
