Official Title: Osteoprotegerin/sRANKL Ratio and Bone Mineral Density in Patients With Primary Hyperparathyroidism Treated With Parathyroidectomy or Alendronate

Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to determine whether osteoprotegerin and RANKL (receptor activator of nuclear factor-κB ligand) are involved in bone remodeling in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT), and whether alendronate may be useful in treatment of the patients with PHPT who are not treated with parathyroidectomy.
