Aim:Peyronie’s disease’s (PD) etiology is still unclear. Many factors that may cause the disease are being investigated. The objective of our study was to clarify the effect of serum parathormone and ionized calcium levels on the pathophysiology of PD.Methods:The study was designed as a cross-sectional study. Demographic data, physical examinations, laboratory tests, and medical and sexual histories of patients between January 2017 and June 2020 were analyzed. Patients were divided into PD and control groups.Results:By measuring serum calcium and parathormone levels of patients, we analyzed 38 PD and 40 control group patients and revealed that i) parathormone (p=0.321) and ionized calcium (p=0.286) levels are not related to PD, and ii) cardiovascular disease (p=0.037), diabetes mellitus (p=0.0001), and hypertension (p=0.001) are significantly associated with PD, whereas smoking, alcohol consumption, and dyslipidemia status are not.Conclusion:The study shows that there is no relationship between serum parathormone and ionized calcium levels and the etiology of PD.
