Surgically proven primary hyperparathyroidism with a suppressed intact parathyroid hormone

Med J Aust. 1996 Aug 19;165(4):197-8. doi: 10.5694/j.1326-5377.1996.tb124924.x.

Abstract

A patient with hypercalcaemia had persistently suppressed serum intact parathyroid hormone levels (measured by immunochemiluminometric assay). However, other biochemical tests and open-neck exploration confirmed a diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism.
