Thanks Bill and all who kindly replied
One of our care of the elderly physician recently had
a case of fracture neck of femur. The care pathway for
such patients recommends measuring calcium, vitamine D
and PTH. The patient had low vitamin D and low normal
calcium and raised PTH c/w secondary
hyperparathyroidism. Hypercalcaemia developed upon
vitamin D treatment with PTH still being raised.
