Hyperparathyroidism: NIH Criteria Part 3. Who Gets Parathyroid Surgery?

Part III is the last video of the NIH Criteria for who gets surgery for primary hyperparathyroidism -- Nobody uses the NIH criteria any more. Dr. Politz from the Norman Parathyroid Center, talks at an endocrinology conference. Most people with parathyroid tumors
are outside some of these guidelines, and how endocrinologists can be proactive with this disease.
Part III of this series focuses on the data from 10,000 patients in four areas: renal function, bone density, localizing tests and long term affects of hyperparathyroidism.
