Correlation between preoperative biochemical indices and intraoperative findings in primary hyperparathyroidism
Serum PTH and plasma iCa levels were weakly correlated with intraoperative parathyroid tumor size. Higher serum PTH levels tend to be associated with ectopic hyperparathyroidism. The ability of biochemical indices to reliably predict parathyroid tumor anatomical features (size, number, or location of glands) appears to be limited.
