Examples of hyperparathyroidism in the following topics:
-
- Parathyroid diseases can be divided into those causing hyperparathyroidism and those causing hypoparathyroidism.
- Parathyroid diseases can be divided into those causing hyperparathyroidism and those causing hypoparathyroidism.
- This is called hyperparathyroidism; it leads to hypercalcemia, kidney stones, osteoporosis, and various other symptoms.
- Another related condition is called secondary hyperparathyroidism, or secondary HPT - common in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis.
- Most experts believe that Sensipar should not be used for patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (patients that have a high calcium and are not on kidney dialysis).
-
- Hyperparathyroidism results from an overproduction of PTH, which leads to excessive amounts of calcium being removed from bones and introduced into blood circulation.
-
- Osteomalacia is the softening of the bones caused by defective bone mineralization secondary to inadequate amounts of available phosphorus and calcium, or because of overactive resorption of calcium from the bone as a result of hyperparathyroidism (which causes hypercalcemia, in contrast to other aetiologies).
