  2. Hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperparathyroidism

    Symptoms of hyperparathyroidism are caused by inappropriately normal or elevated blood calcium excreted from the bones and flowing into the blood stream in response to increased production of parathyroid hormone. [1] In healthy people, when blood calcium levels are high, parathyroid hormone levels should be low.

  3. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tertiary_hyperparathyroidism

    Surgery, intravenous normal saline. Frequency. ~2 per 1,000. Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a condition involving the overproduction of the hormone, parathyroid hormone, produced by the parathyroid glands. [ 1] The parathyroid glands are involved in monitoring and regulating blood calcium levels and respond by either producing or ceasing to ...

  4. Hypercalcaemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypercalcaemia

    Elevated (or high-normal) iPTH with high urine calcium/creatinine ratio (more than 0.03) is suggestive of primary hyperparathyroidism, usually accompanied by low serum phosphate. High iPTH with low urine calcium/creatinine ratio is suggestive of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia.

  5. Parathyroid hormone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parathyroid_hormone

    Parathyroid hormone. Parathyroid hormone ( PTH ), also called parathormone or parathyrin, is a peptide hormone secreted by the parathyroid glands that regulates the serum calcium concentration through its effects on bone, kidney, and intestine. [ 5]

  6. Hypoparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypoparathyroidism

    Hypoparathyroidism is decreased function of the parathyroid glands with underproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH). This can lead to low levels of calcium in the blood, often causing cramping and twitching of muscles or tetany (involuntary muscle contraction), and several other symptoms. It is a very rare disease.

  7. Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Familial_hypocalciuric...

    Familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FHH) is an inherited condition that can cause hypercalcemia, a serum calcium level typically above 10.2 mg/dL; although uncommon. [1] It is also known as familial benign hypocalciuric hypercalcemia (FBHH) where there is usually a family history of hypercalcemia which is mild, a urine calcium to creatinine ratio <0.01, and urine calcium <200 mg/day ...

  8. Calcitriol - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calcitriol

    Calcitriol. Calcitriol is the active form of vitamin D, normally made in the kidney. [8] [9] [10] It is also known as 1,25-dihydroxycholecalciferol. It is a hormone which binds to and activates the vitamin D receptor in the nucleus of the cell, which then increases the expression of many genes. [11]

  9. Secondary hyperparathyroidism - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secondary_hyperparathyroidism

    Thyroid and parathyroid. 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.
