lüll Primary hyperparathyroidism in the older person Conroy S; Moulias S; Wassif WSAge Ageing 2003[Nov]; 32 (6): 571-8Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) is a common condition which may have few symptoms. One of the principal concerns in the older person with minimally symptomatic PHPT is restoration of bone mineral density and prevention of fracture.
