Secondary Hyperparathyroidism
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Starting with who treats it: the endocrinologist studies secondary hyperparathyroidism and the general surgeon steps in when required. It is a situation in which the parathyroid glands produce an excess of hormone as a response to another disturbance in the body, often related to calcium levels or to the function of other organs.
Common symptoms: bone pain, muscle weakness, itching of the skin, and fatigue.
When to seek care? When these discomforts occur in a sustained way or are accompanied by other health conditions.
Follow-up with an endocrinologist, together with the pediatric endocrinologist in minors, helps to understand the origin and to monitor the calcium balance in the body.
