## Abstract Immunoreactive parathyroid hormone was measured in the sera of 26 patients with calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease, using a sensitive radioimmunoassay procedure. Elevated concentrations were found in the sera of 10 (38%) of these patients. Four of these 10 patients had hyp
