Questions

1. What is the commonest cause of hyperparathyroidism in the UK?

Chronic renal failure. This causes vitamin D deficiency, resulting in hypocalcaemia, which in turn promotes increased activity of the parathyroid glands and excess parathyroid hormone production.

2. What is the most convincing radiological sign that points to a diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism?

Subperiosteal resorption of the radial aspect of the phalanges is virtually pathognomonic of hyperparathyroidism.
