Parathyroid Hormone Imbalance

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) imbalance refers to irregular levels of a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands, which help regulate calcium in the body. Too much PTH can lead to high calcium levels (hypercalcemia), causing symptoms like fatigue, kidney stones, and bone pain. Conversely, too little PTH can result in low calcium levels (hypoparathyroidism), leading to muscle cramps and spasms. Imbalances may occur due to disorders of the parathyroid glands, surgical removal, or certain medical conditions. Proper diagnosis and treatment are essential for managing symptoms and maintaining healthy calcium levels.
