Objective  To summarize the changes of serum vitamin D level in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (pHPT), the correlation between vitamin D and clinical manifestations, and feasible pathogenesis of pHPT. Method  The literatures related to vitamin D and pHPT in recent years were reviewed. Results  The level of vitamin D was decreased in patients with pHPT. Vitamin D level was negatively correlated with the weight of parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hormone and blood calcium level, and positively correlated with bone mineral density. Conclusions  Vitamin D nutritional status affects the severity of symptoms, main biochemical indexes and main clinical complications of patients with pHPT. There are various reasons accounted for the decline of vitamin D level, and the specific pathogenesis needs to be further explored. For patients with pHPT, vitamin D should be supplemented carefully and appropriately before surgical operation.
