ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES: Patients with primary hyperparathyroidism run an increased risk of death in cardiovascular disease. Long ago, hypertension was found to frequently occur in these patients. The aim of this study was to compare the death risk after surgery for hyperparathyroidism of hypertensive patients with that of normotensive ones, and to investigate relations between variables of cardiovascular disease and variables of hyperparathyroidism and renal function. METHODS: A series of 845 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism and serum creatinine Subject(s)
