Primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism among Vitamin D deficient Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients and the need for a parathyroid scanPrimary and secondary hyperparathyroidism among Vitamin D deficient Hashimoto's thyroiditis patients and the need for a parathyroid scan Peer-Reviewed Journal Publication Δημοσίευση σε Περιοδικό με Κριτές 2018-11-272017enThe patients with Hashimoto thyroiditis must be investigated mainly for secondary hyperparathyroidism due to vitamin D deficiency/insufficiency. Parathyroid scintigraphy has no place in the diagnosis of primary, secondary or tertiary hyperparathyroidism or in the decision for surgical treatment. Parathyroid scintigraphy is a useful preoperative technique for the localization of the pathological parathyroid glands.http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/Hellenic Journal of Nuclear Medicine203258-259 Mazokopákīs, Īlías E Papadomanolaki Maria Παπαδομανωλακη Μαρια Skarakis Spyridon Nikitas I.
