Question

Hungry bone syndrome is associated with:

• A. Diabetes mellitus
• B. Hyperparathyroidism
• C. Sodium
• D. Vitamin B

Hint:

Hungry bone syndrome involves hypocalcemia after parathyroid removal, often seen in hyperparathyroidism patients.

The Correct Option is B

Hungry bone syndrome occurs after parathyroidectomy in patients with hyperparathyroidism. The sudden drop in circulating parathyroid hormone causes a rapid uptake of calcium and phosphorus by the bones, leading to hypocalcemia.
