The frequency of renal calculi as a common complication of primary parathyroid hyperfunction was recognized early (2), and calculi continue to be the most important single clue arousing suspicion of hyperparathyroidism. In recent years, the frequency of gastrointestinal complications has been emphasized by several observers (3-6). Mental aberrations (7, 8), pancreatitis (9), occasional familial tendency (10-12), hypertension (13), and association with tumors of other endocrine organs (14, 15)...References1.
