Hyperparathyroidism is overactivity of the parathyroid glands resulting in excess production of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Increased PTH consequently leads to increased serum calcium (hypercalcemia) due to 1) increased bone resorption, allowing flow of calcium from bone to blood, 2) reduces renal clearance of calcium, and 3) increases intestinal calcium absorption.
Etiology
- Primary hyperparathyroidism results from a dysfunction in the parathyroid glands themselves, with oversecretion of PTH.
- The most common cause is a benign parathyroid adenoma that loses its sensitivity to circulating calcium levels. Usually, only one of the four parathyroid glands is affected.
- A less common cause is from multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN).
