Correlation of biochemical parameters with single parathyroid adenoma weight and volume.

Objective: To determine the relationship of the biochemical parameters serum phosphate, serum calcium, and serum parathyroid hormone levels with respect to parathyroid adenoma weight and volume in primary hyperparathyroidism.

Study Design: Retrospective review of 63 cases of primary hyperparathyroidism from 1992 to 1998.

Methods: Single parathyroid adenomas were identified from surgical pathology reports.
