Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism is a disorder in which the parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, which raises the calcium in the blood. The parathyroids are four small glands located in the neck, next to the thyroid.
Frequent symptoms: Many people have no obvious discomfort; when symptoms appear, they may include fatigue, thirst, kidney stones, bone pain, or changes in mood.
Common causes: It usually originates from a benign growth in one of the glands that makes it work excessively.
Which specialist treats it? The endocrinologist handles the hormonal workup, the internist supports the follow-up, and, when an intervention is required, the general surgeon is involved; the nephrologist may join in if there is kidney involvement. If your tests show elevated calcium, the most prudent thing is to discuss it with a professional.
