Primary Hyperparathyroidism Diagnosis
How Is Primary Hyperparathyroidism Diagnosed?
The disorder may not present symptoms or complications, and is sometimes discovered during a routine blood test as a part of a physical examination.
A diagnosis procedure for primary hyperparathyroidism may involve a dual X-ray absorptiometry, also called bone densitometry, to determine bone density and to reveal loss of bone tissue. Bone densitometry is also used to continually monitor the disorder.
