| | Hyperparathyroidism |
 | | Secondary hyperparathyroidism is hypersecretion of the parathyroids in response to a defect elsewhere in the body causing chronic calcium depletion. | | | The remainder of this discussion will focus on primary hyperparathyroidism since this largely is a surgical condition. | | | Because of the complicated feedback mechanisms that exist, serum calcium levels may be normal even in symptomatic patients. |

| | Hyperparathyroidism |
| | This condition of excessive calcium in the blood, called hypercalcemia, is what usually signals the doctor that something may be wrong with the parathyroid glands. | | | Research shows that such tests do not improve the success rate of surgery, which is about 95 percent when performed by experienced surgeons. | | | About 1 percent of patients undergoing surgery have damage to the nerves controlling the vocal cords, which can affect speech. |

| | Failure of medical therapy to control hyperparathyroidism is a soft indication for surgery. | | | Imaging studies are not used to make the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism (which is based on laboratory data) or to decide on surgical therapy (which is based on clinical criteria). | | | Some clinicians advocate surgical therapy in all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, modified only for those patients who are not able to tolerate surgery. |

| | In fact, a recent epidemiologic study by Melton of the Mayo clinic looking at national statistics from primary hyperparathyroidism concluded that it is more expensive to follow a patient clinically for 5 years than it is to treat initially with surgery. | | | Other areas of controversy include the question of 1) when medical treatment of mild hyperparathyroidism is appropriate; 2) the value of performing preoperative localization studies; and, 3) unilateral versus bilateral neck dissection. | | | There are two schools of thought regarding surgical approach for hyperparathyroidism. |

| | Secondary hyperparathyroidism is associated with poor prognosis, mostly because of the primary problem that initially caused chronic hypocalcemia. | | | Patients with hyperparathyroidism have an increased incidence of hypertension and congestive heart failure. | | | Infant death from hypocalcemia can occur from neonatal severe hyperparathyroidism, a syndrome observed in infants born to mothers with severe hyperparathyroidism. |

| | Clinically, there may be effects of both hypercalcaemia and of hypocalcaemia. | | | Hyperparathyroidism is a condition in which there is excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone. | | | The principal target organs are the kidney and bone, with a secondary effect on the gut through 1,25 dihydroxy vitamin D. Hyperparathyroidism can be primary, secondary or tertiary according to the extent of excessive parathyroid hormone produced, and the degree of autonomy of the parathyroid glands. |
