A local endocrine surgeon asked if I could explain a possible molecular basis for an apparent association between Hyperparathyroidism and Polycythaemia - it seems there are some case reports in the literature of such an association and the polycythaemia resolves post surgery (I'm relying on his account, haven't read the papers). Is anyone aware of this association or can offer a mechanism

 

Thanks

I would be most grateful if you could tell me if  HPL is still measured anywhere in the UK?

 

I have had a query about a possible HPL secreting tumour.

 

Many Thanks
