    Hyperparathyroidism : note

    • Hyperparathyroidism results from an increase in the secretion of PTH (parathyroid hormon).
    • The cause in 80% of the cases is a benign tumour of parathyroid tissue in one of the glands.
    • Hyperparathyroidism leads to bone demineralization and hypercalcaemia.
    • The resultant hypercalcaemia can also lead to hypophosphataemia, which has deleterious effects on the cardiovascular, respiratory and muscular systems, leading to general debility.
    • Drug treatments for hyperparathyroidism include the use of a loop diuretic such as furosemide, biphosphonates and calcitonin.
