Diagnosis

Disorder		Laboratory findings
		Parathyroid hormone	Serum calcium	Serum phosphate	Other findings
Hyperparathyroidism	Primary hyperparathyroidism	↑	↑	↓/Normal	Normal/↑ calcitriol
	Secondary hyperparathyroidism	↑	↓/Normal	↑	--

Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia		Normal/↑	Normal/↑	--	↓ Urinary calcium/creatinine clearance ratio
Hypoparathyroidism		↓	↓	↑	↓ 1,25 Dihydroxy vitamin D Normal urinary cAMP Normal urinary phosphate
Pseudohypoparathyroidism	Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1A	↑	↓	↑	↓ 1,25 Dihydroxy vitamin D ↓ Urinary cAMP ↓ Urinary phosphate
	Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1B	↑	↓	↑	↓ 1,25 Dihydroxy vitamin D ↓ Urinary cAMP ↓ Urinary phosphate
	Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1C	↑	↓	↑	↓ 1,25 Dihydroxy vitamin D ↓ Urinary cAMP ↓ Urinary phosphate
