Abstract
Metabolic bone disease is a potential complication of bariatric surgery. It is often undiagnosed, because of lack of physician and patient awareness. Abnormalities in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels and vitamin D metabolism begin shortly after bariatric surgery; however, clinical evidence of metabolic bone disease may not be detected until years later. The aim of the study is to determine if African Americans patients have a higher risk to develop secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT).
