Editor-In-Chief: C. Michael Gibson, M.S., M.D. [1]; Associate Editor(s)-in-Chief: Anmol Pitliya, M.B.B.S. M.D.[2]

Overview

Overview

Common risk factors in the development of primary hyperparathyroidism include postmenopausal women, age group 50-60 year, family history of hyperparathyroidism, and history of familial syndromes. Common risk factors in the development of secondary hyperparathyroidism in chronic renal failure include high serum phosphorus expression levels, low serum creatinine expression levels, low serum calcium expression levels, female gender, and hypertension. Common risk factors in the development of tertiary hyperparathyroidism post renal transplantation include elderly individuals and longer duration of dialysis.
