Abstract
The serum levels of 1.25-dihydroxycholecalciferol [1,25(OH)2D3] were increased in five patients with primary hyperparathyroidism [60 +/- 13 (SD) pg/ml; normal value, 33 +/- 15 (SD) pg/ml] but fell rapidly after parathyroidectomy to values of 23 +/- 9 (SD) pg/ml. This was accompanied by parallel decreases in the serum concentrations of calcium and immunoreactive parathyroid hormone. Over the following 5--35 days, the serum 1,25(OH)2D3 concentrations increased markedly to levels of 59 +/- 17 (SD) pg/ml, which could most likely be explained by a stimulatory effect of the hypocalcemia per se on the renal production of 1,25(OH)2D3.Entities:
