The basal plasma glucose: a simple relevant index of maturity-onset diabetes.

abstract：CONTEXT:Primary hyperparathyroidism is a common condition and results in hypercalcaemia, especially in older women. Thus, it is critical to obtain a robust estimate for the upper limit of the reference interval for albumin-adjusted serum calcium in the general population. The current reference interval in use in the UK...
