Dear Mailbase,
Can anyone explain the origin of the "fasting, second-void" urine sample for the assessment of familial benign hypercalcaemic hypocalciuria vs primary hyperparathyroidism?
Particularly, why is it recommended that the sample is second-void rather than just fasting?
Do any labs/endocrinologists recommend anything other than this when trying to distinguish between primary hyperparathyroidism and FHH?
Best wishes,
Nicola
