Diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism.
Hyperparathyroidism is an important cause of calculous disease. A simple reliable protocol for evaluation of patients has been developed.

Normocalcemic hyperparathyroidism can be diagnosed by this convenient method, and this protocol can be carried out in any hospital as part of an out- or inpatient workup.
