Urolithiasis of hyperparathyroid etiology has a severe course: rapid stone growth is noted, as a rule, this is a bilateral process that requires repeated surgical intervention. Untimely diagnosis of this disease can lead to late surgical treatment and the development of severe and irreversible complications in patients. Purpose. To analyze modern imaging methods of the parathyroid glands in patients with urolithiasis associated with primary hyperparathyroidism, and identify the most sensitive of them. Materials and methods. To solve this goal, the literature databases e-Library and PubMed were used. Literary sources of 9 domestic and 34 foreign authors were studied. Incidence.
