2. Hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparathyroidism

   Hyperparathyroidism is an increase in parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels in the blood. [1] [4] This occurs from a disorder either within the parathyroid glands (primary hyperparathyroidism) or as response to external stimuli (secondary hyperparathyroidism). [1]

3. Parathyroidectomy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroidectomy

   This situation arises mainly in people with severe chronic kidney disease in which the parathyroid glands are overactive to compensate for the low calcium and vitamin D levels often present in CKD. In many cases, the parathyroid hormone production improves when these abnormalities are treated with medication.

4. Secondary hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_hyperparathyroidism

   Secondary hyperparathyroidism is the medical condition of excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands in response to hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels), with resultant hyperplasia of these glands. This disorder is primarily seen in patients with chronic kidney failure.

5. Parathyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_disease

   Parathyroid auto transplantation is part of the treatment when a patient has hyperparathyroidism and three or four parathyroid glands were already removed, but during the surgery one of the glands (in the case of the removal of three) is relocated at another part of the body to make, the procedure less risky another procedure.

6. Primary hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primary_hyperparathyroidism

   The most common cause of primary hyperparathyroidism is a sporadic, single parathyroid adenoma [5] resulting from a clonal mutation (~97%). Less common are parathyroid hyperplasia [6] (~2.5%), parathyroid carcinoma (malignant tumor), and adenomas in more than one gland (together ~0.5%).Primary hyperparathyroidism is also a feature of several familial endocrine disorders: Multiple endocrine ...

7. Thyroid disease - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyroid_disease

   The parathyroid glands produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), a hormone needed to maintain adequate amounts of calcium in the blood. Removal results in hypoparathyroidism and a need for supplemental calcium and vitamin D each day. In the event that the blood supply to any one of the parathyroid glands is endangered through surgery, the parathyroid ...

8. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertiary_hyperparathyroidism

   The parathyroid glands are involved in monitoring and regulating blood calcium levels and respond by either producing or ceasing to produce parathyroid hormone. Anatomically, these glands are located in the neck, para-lateral to the thyroid gland, which does not have any influence in the production of parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone is ...

9. Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thyrotoxic_periodic_paralysis

   Treatment of the thyroid disease usually leads to resolution of the paralytic attacks. Depending on the nature of the disease, the treatment may consist of thyrostatics (drugs that reduce production of thyroid hormone), radioiodine , or occasionally thyroid surgery.
