Bariatric surgery provides an effective option for the management of morbid obesity. Several studies have investigated the association between bariatric surgery and secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT). This study aims to compare the levels of blood biomarkers, specifically, calcium (Ca), vitamin D, and phosphate (PO4), and their association with parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels pre- and post-bariatric surgery. In addition, it aims to assess the prevalence of hyperparathyroidism post-bariatric surgery in a tertiary care hospital in Saudi Arabia.
