He was operated four years back for renal stones. His blood complete picture was normal except for mild anemia. His serum calcium level was low i.e. 6.9 mg/dL. Serum magnesium, phosphate, alkaline phospha-tase and Vitamin D levels were normal. Serum PTH (parathyroid hormone) level was low i.e. 4.51 pg/ml (Normal range 11-67 pg/mL). Urine RE showed albumin, pus cells and calcium oxalate crystals. Pure tone audiometry showed bilateral mild to moderate degree of sensorineural hearing loss.</p> ER -
