Middle-aged man with signs/symptoms and CT scan consistent with renal calculi who has lab findings consistent with primary hyperparathyroidism (increased calcium, decreased phosphorous, increased PTH)
Key idea: Although elevated PTH levels will lead to increased reabsorption of calcium from the renal tubules, the amount of calcium being filtered by the kidney will still be relatively higher than normal due to increased calcium in the blood
