Primary hyperparathyroidism, the most common cause of hypercalcemia due to extreme secretion of parathormone, is frequently associated with hypophosphatemia and elevated serum chloride. Though primary hyperparathyroidism was frequently complicated by kidney stone disease and osteitis fibrosa in the past, however routine screening of serum calcium and development of high-level assay of parathyroid hormone have donated to earlier detection of primary hyperparathyroidism.
