Parathyroid Disorders

Parathyroid disorders involve problems with the parathyroid glands, which regulate calcium levels in the body. When these glands produce too much or too little parathyroid hormone (PTH), it can lead to imbalances. Overactivity can cause high calcium levels, leading to weakened bones, kidney stones, and other health issues. Conversely, underactivity can result in low calcium, causing muscle cramps and bone pain. These disorders can significantly affect bone health and mineral balance, necessitating careful management by healthcare professionals to restore normal function and maintain overall well-being.
