Primary hyperparathyroidism and thyroid disease are both quite common with about 1%
and 20–50% of the US population being affected by either, respectively.

In addition, those with primary hyperparathyroidism are often found to have co-occurring
asymptomatic or incidentally discovered thyroid abnormalities include subclinical
hyper/hypothyroidism and thyroid nodules. The published rate of this co-occurrence
ranges from 30 to 51% primarily based on single institution studies.

The converse is also true: those with thyroid disease have higher rates of diagnosed
primary hyperparathyroidism than the general population (0.3–5%).To read this article in full you will need to make a payment
