✦ Synopsis

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 hypercalcemia suggesting primary hyperparathyroidism, but 3 had hypocalcemia suggesting secondary hyperparathyroidism. The data extend the previously documented relationship between hyperparathyroidism and calcium pyrophosphate crystal deposition disease, but an explanation for the association is not readily apparent.
