PubMed Citation ABSTRACT Background Treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism with vitamin D and calcium in patients receiving dialysis is often complicated by hypercalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, which may contribute to cardiovascular disease and adverse clinical outcomes. Calcimimetics target the calcium-sensing receptor and lower parathyroid hormone levels without increasing calcium and phosphorus levels. We report the results of two identical randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trials evaluating the safety and effectiveness of the calcimimetic agent cinacalcet hydrochloride. Methods Patients who were receiving hemodialysis and who had inadequately controlled secondary hyperparathyroidism despite standard treatment were randomly assigned to receive cinacalcet (371 patients) or placebo (370 patients) for 26 weeks.

http://www.upei.ca/~cidd/Diseases/endocrine diseases/juvenile hyperparathyroidis

Extractions: What is juvenile hyperparathyroidism? This condition is one of abnormally increased activity of the parathyroid glands, which are important in the regulation of calcium and phosphorus in the body. The excess of parathyroid hormone causes problems in the bones and kidneys. How is juvenile hyperparathyroidism inherited? The condition is believed to be inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. What breeds are affected by juvenile hyperparathyroidism German shepherd For many breeds and many disorders, the studies to determine the mode of inheritance or the frequency in the breed have not been carried out, or are inconclusive. We have listed breeds for which there is a consensus among those investigating in this field and among veterinary practitioners, that the condition is significant in this breed. What does juvenile hyperparathyroidism Affected dogs will have stunted growth, increased urination and drinking, and muscle weakness. How is juvenile hyperparathyroidism diagnosed? Your veterinarian will do laboratory blood tests to determine the cause of your dog's stunted growth, usually the most obvious sign of this disorder. For the veterinarian: CLINICAL PATHOLOGY: hypophosphatemia with increased fractional clearance of phosphorus, elevated plasma PTH, hypercalcemia. R/O hyper- or hypovitaminosis D, bone neoplasia, and osteomyelitis.

http://www.osteoporosis.org.za/excerpt5.htm

Extractions: Member Society HYPERPARATHYROIDISM Primary hyperparathyroidism is a metabolic disorder that can result in the loss of bone. It occurs when one or more parathyroid glands become enlarged and overactive, producing too much parathyroid hormone. Hyperparathyroidism increases bone remodeling and therefore magnifies the imbalance between bone formation and resorption seen after the menopause, leading to a greater rate of bone loss. Women outnumber men by two to one and the frequency of the condition increases with age. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates calcium metabolism and when too much PTH is released it causes a rise in blood levels of calcium. The most common symptoms of hypercalcaemia are loss of appetite, thirst, urinary frequency, lethargy, fatigue, muscle weakness, joint pains and constipation. More severe symptoms of higher levels may include nausea and vomiting , abdominal pain, memory loss and depression. Primary hyperparathyroidism may be associated with an increased risk of vertebral crush fractures.

Parathyroid glands Hyperparathyroidism is excessive production of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands. Causes The parathyroid glands are located at the front and base of the neck around the thyroid gland. They produce parathyroid hormone , which regulates calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels within the blood and bone. When calcium levels are too low, the body responds by increasing production of parathyroid hormone. This increase in parathyroid hormone causes more calcium to be taken from the bone and more calcium to be reabsorbed by the intestines and kidney. When the calcium level returns to normal, parathyroid hormone production slows down. Excess parathyroid hormone can be produced for a variety of reasons. In some cases, parathyroid hormone is produced without regard to the calcium levels. This is called "primary hyperparathyroidism" and is caused by enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands. It is a common disorder affecting about 1 in 1,000 people. The high levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone affect several body systems, including the skeletal, gastrointestinal

Endocrine glands 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 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:

Editor Primary hyperparathyrodism is a disorder of the parathyroid glands. 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. This article focuses on primary hyperparathyrodism. 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 phosphorus in the body.

Extractions: Skip Navigation home about us referring ... Primary Hyperparathyroidism Did you know? The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near the thyroid gland. These glands are responsible for calcium regulation. Primary hyperparathyroidism is a metabolic disorder in which one (or more) of the parathyroid glands produces too much parathyroid hormone, which can result in the loss of bone tissue. Primary hyperparathyroidism affects about 100,000 people in the US each year, and is more prevalent in women than in men. A function of the parathyroid hormone is to keep blood-calcium levels from going too low by releasing calcium from bones, conserving calcium that would be excreted by the kidneys, and increasing calcium absorption from food. When the hormone overacts, the result is a rise in the blood-calcium level. When one parathyroid gland becomes enlarged, the condition is called adenoma. When more than one becomes enlarged, the condition is called hyperplasia. Both of these conditions are benign (non-cancerous). Too much parathyroid hormone causes too much calcium to be released from bone.

Extractions: No, it occurs in all breeds and in mixed breeds. However, according to the UCDavis Book of Dogs (a layman's medical reference book), "PHP occurs in older dogs (average age, 10 years). Keeshonds, German Shepherd Dogs and Norwegian Elkhounds appear to have a predisposition for this disorder. . ."(p.315). The surgeon who took care of my dog told me of the last 12 cases seen at her hospital, two were Keeshonden and at least one was a mixed breed. No. Keeshonden are widely known to be at the top of the list for this disease, and this indicates it is in many dogs in the breed, and not just in well-known lines. In fact, in the recent KCA Health Survey, this problem was reported by owners and breeders to be one of the top four known health conditions. This survey covered dogs from breeders across the country , as well as dogs bred in puppymills and by backyard breeders.

http://my.webmd.com/hw/health_guide_atoz/sth149981.asp

Extractions: Hyperparathyroidism is overactivity of the tiny glands in the neck that are within the thyroid gland (parathyroid glands). The parathyroid glands release a substance called parathyroid hormone that helps control the amount of calcium in the bloodstream. When the parathyroid glands produce too much hormone, the amount of calcium in the blood increases. The body removes calcium from the bones, absorbs more calcium from the intestines, and releases less calcium into the urine. This can result in constipation, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, and other symptoms. It can also lead to kidney stones and weakening of the bones (osteoporosis). Hyperparathyroidism may develop because of a tumor on the parathyroid gland, as a side effect of treatment for other conditions (such as Paget's disease), or for unknown reasons. Surgery may be needed to remove part or all of the parathyroid glands.

Overactive parathyroid glands produce high levels of parathyroid hormones, which, in turn, results in increased levels of calcium in the blood stream. The excess calcium released by the bones leads to osteoporosis and osteomalacia (both bone-weakening diseases). Another result of hyperparathyroidism is kidney stones, because of high levels of calcium excreted into the urine by the kidneys. Hyperparathyroidism is quite rare in children. Causes of hyperparathyroidism include benign (non-cancerous) tumors on the parathyroid glands or enlargement of the parathyroid glands. According to a recent study, children with hyperparathyroidism experience more severe symptoms than adults. The following are the most common symptoms of hyperparathyroidism in children.

Extractions: Approximately one million people in the United States suffer from one of two forms of hyperparathyroidism (HPT). This condition results from oversecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands. Primary HPT predominately affects postmenopausal women. Secondary HPT afflicts the vast majority of kidney dialysis patients. Calcimimetic molecules may become useful therapies for controlling HPT. scientific publications Pharmacological regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion. The first useful drug therapies for controlling secondary HPT may be provided by a class of orally active, small molecules known as calcimimetics , which were discovered by NPS Pharmaceuticals. These compounds act at calcium receptors on the surface of parathyroid cells that are known to exert direct control on the secretion of PTH. (Calcium receptors were first cloned in 1993 by NPS scientists and their collaborators at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston .) In animal models and human clinical trials, calcimimetic drugs have demonstrated the ability to rapidly and significantly lower PTH levels in secondary HPT.
