Article Synopsis
- - The parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH) to increase low calcium levels in the blood, but uncontrolled growth of parathyroid cells can lead to hyperparathyroidism, which results in elevated calcium levels.
- - There are three types of hyperparathyroidism: primary, which results from overproduction of PTH, secondary, caused by chronic kidney issues, and tertiary, which can occur after a kidney transplant when PTH secretion remains high despite improved kidney function.
- - The report aims to provide insights into the clinical, pathological, and biochemical aspects of these conditions, along with diagnostics and treatment options for calcium and phosphate abnormalities related to parathyroid disorders.
