Patient Information A patient information handout on hyperparathyroidism , written by the authors of this article, is provided on page 1807. Hyperparathyroidism is a common cause of hypercalcemia. The hypercalcemia usually is discovered during a routine serum chemistry profile. Often, there has been no previous suspicion of this disorder. In most patients initially believed to be asymptomatic, previously unrecognized symptoms resolve with surgical correction of the disorder. The symptoms of hyperparathyroidism are vague and often similar to symptoms of depression, irritable bowel syndrome, fibromyalgia or stress reaction. Complications of primary hyperparathyroidism include peptic ulcers, nephrolithiasis, pancreatitis and dehydration. Surgical management is usually indicated. When medical management is used, routine monitoring for clinical deterioration is recommended. Preoperative localization of adenomas with technetium Tc 99m sestamibi scan is possible but may be unnecessary. An experienced surgeon should perform the parathyroidectomy. D uring the early 1970s, the advent of multichannel autoanalyzers and the "profiles" they produced appeared to increase the incidence of primary hyperparathyroidism fivefold, but the severity of the condition declined to an "asymptomatic" presentation.

P rimary hyperparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypercalcemia in t he outpatient setting. Most persons with this condition are asymptomatic. However, recognition of primary hyperparathyroidism has increased dramatically since the introduction of multichannel autoanalyzers in the 1970s. The disorder can occur in persons of any age but is more common in persons older than 50 years. In the United States, its estimated incidence in persons older than 65 years is one case per 1,000 in men and two to three cases per 1,000 in women. Classic primary hyperparathyroidism with overt complications of osteitis fibrosa cystica, nephrolithiasis, and nephrocalcinosis is rare.

    Extractions: Hyperparathyroidism is caused by overactive parathyroid glands. Overactive parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormones, which in turn stimulate increased levels of calcium in the blood stream. The excess calcium released by the bones leads to osteoporosis and osteomalacia (both bone-weakening diseases). Other results of hyperparathyroidism are kidney stones, because of high levels of calcium excreted into the urine by the kidneys. Causes of hyperparathyroidism include benign tumors on the parathyroid glands or enlargement of the parathyroid glands. What are symptoms of hyperparathyroidism?

The parathyroid glands produce the hormone that regulates blood levels of calcium and phosphate, minerals necessary for strong bones and teeth. Primary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by an overproduction of parathyroid hormone, which, in turn, results in an elevation of calcium levels in the blood. Signs and Symptoms At least 50% of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have no symptoms, and approximately 1% of cases go undiagnosed. When symptoms do occur, they are generally attributable to persistently high levels of calcium and may include: What Causes It?

Z Contents of this page: Endocrine glands Definition Return to top The parathyroids are four glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone to help control calcium metabolism. Excessive production of this hormone caused by increased activity of these glands is known as hyperparathyroidism. When this occurs in response to low blood calcium caused by another condition, the condition is called secondary hyperparathyroidism. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top Parathyroid hormone helps maintain blood calcium by regulating bone turnover, absorption of calcium from the gut, and excretion of calcium in the urine. Many disorders may lead to secondary hyperparathyroidism by causing hypocalcemia (low levels of calcium in the blood), disordered phosphate balance, or both. These include the following: At-risk populations include children with malnutrition and elderly people with little sun exposure.

Most people with this disorder have one or more enlarged, overactive parathyroid glands that secrete too much parathyroid hormone. In secondary hyperparathyroidism, a problem such as kidney failure makes the body resistant to the action of parathyroid hormone. What Are the Parathyroid Glands? The parathyroid glands are four pea-sized glands located on the thyroid gland in the neck . Occasionally, a person is born with one or more of the parathyroid glands embedded in the thyroid, the thymus, or elsewhere in the chest. In most such cases, however, the glands function normally. Though their names are similar, the thyroid and parathyroid glands are entirely separate glands, each producing distinct hormones with specific functions. The parathyroid glands secrete parathyroid hormone (PTH), a substance that helps maintain the correct balance of calcium and phosphorous in the body. PTH regulates release of the calcium from bone, absorption of calcium in the intestine, and excretion of calcium in the urine.

    Extractions: ism = a disease or condition = HYPERPARATHYROIDISM In patients with hyperparathyroidism, one of the four parathyroid glands behaves inappropriately by making excess parathyroid hormone regardless of the level of calcium. In other words, one of the parathyroid glands continues to make large amounts of parathyroid hormone even when the calcium level is normal or highwhen the parathyroids should not be making any hormone at all. Remember as you read about hyperparathyroidism on these pages, it is a hormone problem, not a cancer problem. As you look at the picture below, you will see that one of the parathyroid glands has grown way too bigit is making too much hormonethus causing hyperparathyroidism.
