The article discusses how high levels of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) may be caused by certain medications rather than normal physiological processes. This hormone plays a crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body. The researchers found a case where PTH levels were abnormal without the expected changes, suggesting a potential drug-induced cause for this discrepancy.
