Bone mineral density in primary care patients related to serum calcium concentrations: a longitudinal cohort study from Sweden

Bone mineral density in primary care patients related to serum calcium concentrations: a longitudinal cohort study from Sweden

Objective: Elevated calcium concentration is a commonly used measure in screening analyses for primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT) and cancer. Low bone mineral density (BMD) and osteoporosis are common features of pHPT and strengthen the indication for parathyroidectomy. It is not known whether an el...
