Abstract
Total urinary hydroxyproline (THP) excretion has been measured in 31 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism. In 29 cases there was a very close correlation with plasma alkaline phosphatase ( r = 0.90, p < 0.001). In all of II patients with radiological bone disease total hydroxyproline excretion was increased; it was also increased in 3 out of 20 patients with normal bone X-rays.
