About this trial
The PARABONE study aims to investigate the interaction between bone and parathyroid glands in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT). The study consists of a clinical part aimed at evaluating a series of circulating molecules of bone derivation (osteocalcin, molecules of the WNT pathway, RANKL, osteoprotegerin, Scelrostin, FGF23) in patients with HPT. In particular, the study has as its primary objective to identify the correlation between circulating levels of PTH and levels of GlaOC and GluOC in patients with HPT.
