Primary hyperparathyroidism gives high serum calcium, high PTH and high urinary calcium, with low phosphate.
- High urinary calcium separates it from familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, where urinary calcium is low (option A).
- Low PTH (B) suggests a non-parathyroid cause of hypercalcemia, and low serum calcium (D) fits secondary hyperparathyroidism.
