Elevated serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) level together with hypocalcemia in chronic kidney disease usually suggests secondary hyperparathyroidism. However, primary hyperparathyroidism should also be considered, especially if concomitant vitamin D deficiency is suspected. We report a case of parathyroid adenoma associated with hypocalcemia and metabolic bone disease in a patient presenting with kidney disorder. The patient was successfully treated by parathyroidectomy that was preceded and followed by intensive calcium and vitamin D supplementation.
