The association between renal impairment, low 25(OH)-vitamin D, anemia, marrow fibrosis, severe osteoporosis, fibrocystic osteitis, high level of alkaline phosphatase and considerable volume of the parathyroid adenoma suggested a long neglected

Key clinical point: Supplemental vitamin D helps maintain normal bone levels in patients with
