Hyperparathyroidism : What it Is, How to Diagnose, How to Treat

In primary hyperparathyroidism, an enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands causes overproduction of the hormone, resulting in high levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause a variety of health problems.

Surgery is the most common treatment for primary hyperparathyroidism. Hyperparathyroidism means having too much parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood.

[style=font-weight: bold;]It is NOT to be confused with hyperthyroidism[/style]. The disorder is classified as primary, secondary, or tertiary.

  • Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs when high PTH levels are caused by abnormal function of the parathyroid gland. Usually, high blood calcium levels also are present.

  • Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs when high levels of PTH in the blood are a response to low blood calcium or other mineral levels.

  • Tertiary hyperparathyroidism can develop when the high levels of PTH that are caused by secondary hyperparathyroidism continue even after the initial cause has been addressed.


Though more common in women, hyperparathyroidism should be ruled out when a patient presents with frequent kidney stones, elevated calcium levels, or frequent fractures.
