Parathyroid Adenoma
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
A parathyroid adenoma is a benign tumor that forms in one of the parathyroid glands, located in the neck, and that usually causes an excessive production of the hormone responsible for regulating calcium in the body.
How it manifests: By raising the calcium in the blood, it can cause fatigue, thirst, increased urination, bone pain, kidney stones, or digestive discomfort; in many cases it is discovered by chance on a routine test.
When to investigate it? When tests show sustained high calcium or these symptoms appear without a clear cause to explain them.
Which specialist evaluates it? The endocrinologist is the reference for hormonal disorders; in minors the pediatric endocrinologist takes part, and the internist can guide the initial study. It is worth reviewing these findings with a professional who can define the most suitable follow-up.
