World Hypoparathyroidism Awareness Day, observed on June 1 each year, brings increased awareness of hypoparathyroidism and the need for improvements in education, prevention, and treatment for this poorly understood condition. Hypoparathyroidism is characterized by inadequate parathyroid function, which typically is the result of an avoidable surgical complication. People with this condition...

A parathyroid adenoma is a growth in a parathyroid gland. The glands help regulate your body’s calcium level. Each gland secretes parathyroid hormone, or PTH, based on the calcium level. The role of PTH is to help raise the blood level of calcium through several different mechanisms. As the calcium level in the blood goes down, the amount of PTH produced should go up, and, if the calcium level ...

Parathyroidectomy is the procedure to treat hyperparathyroidism, a condition in which there is an over production of parathyroid hormone by one or more of the parathyroid glands. These glands help keep the calcium level in our blood at the appropriate point. The only treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism is surgery to remove the abnormal glands. Many people worry about their scar after sur...

Parathyroid glands are tiny organs that reside deep in the neck that function as the master “thermostats” for calcium in the body. When blood calcium levels dip too low, the glands activate and release parathyroid hormone (PTH). This PTH circulates throughout the body, signaling the bones, kidneys, and the gut to work together to drive the blood calcium level up. In hyperparathyroidism, one or...
