Retrospective study explores diagnostic value of chloride ratios in subtypes of primary hyperparathyroidism and their associations with osteoporosis and nephrolithiasis.
Key Points
A higher chloride-to-phosphorus ratio in hypercalcemic patients indicates potential osteoporosis risk.
The chloride-to-magnesium ratio is linked to nephrolithiasis risk but shows no subtype differentiation.
Preoperative biochemical parameters and imaging findings were rigorously analyzed for diagnostic accuracy.
The findings suggest using the chloride ratios for improved risk stratification in managing primary hyperparathyroidism.
