Parathyroid Disease What are the parathyroid glands? The parathyroid glands are two pair (four in total) of glands that secrete parathyroid hormone. The parathyroid gland, like the THYROID GLAND , is part of the endocrine (gland) system. What is parathyroid hormone? Parathyroid hormone is a substance that helps regulate the amount of calcium in the bloodstream. Calcium is needed to make strong bones and teeth. However, a normal calcium level in the bloodstream is also very important for normal function of muscles and nerves. Parathyroid hormone raises the amount of calcium in the bloodstream by removing calcium from bones, by increasing the amount of calcium taken from the diet, and by decreasing the amount of calcium excreted in the urine. Where are the parathyroid glands located? The parathyroid glands are located behind the two lobes of the THYROID GLAND in the neck. What problems can develop with the parathyroid gland?

Prevention Hypoparathyroidism Definition: Hypoparthyroidism is a deficiency of parathyroid hormone that causes abnormal metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Calcium and phosphorus are important body minerals. They form the mineral component of bones, and they exist as charged particles called ions in the blood and inside cells. Parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in bone and blood. The four small parathyroid glands located in the neck, behind the thyroid, make PTH. Hypoparathyroidism is the clinical condition caused by a lack of PTH. Blood calcium levels fall, and phosphorus levels rise. Low blood calcium levels may cause symptoms such as tingling of the lips, fingers, and toes, and muscle cramps or spasms. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is injury to the parathyroid glands during head and neck surgery. Rarely, hypoparathyroidism is a side effect of radioactive iodine treatment for

Renal involvement is not found constantly. The GATA3 gene, located on chromosome 10p, has been found to be mutated in affected families, leading to haplo-insufficiency. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. The GATA3 gene belongs to a family of zinc-finger transcription factors, and is essential in the embryonic development of the parathyroids, auditory system and kidneys.* Author : Pr J.P.

Facility Information DeWitt Comm Hosp Genesis Medical Ctr Illini Hospital Genesis Health Grp VNA Hypoparathyroidism Definition Hypoparathyroidism is the result of a decrease in production of parathyroid hormones by the parathyroid glands located behind the thyroid glands in the neck. The result is a low level of calcium in the blood. Description Parathyroid glands consist of four pea-shaped glands located on the back and side of the thyroid gland. The gland produces parathyroid hormone which, along with vitamin D and calcitonin, are important for the regulation of the calcium level in the body. Hypoparathyroidism affects both males and females of all ages. The accidental removal of the parathyroid glands during neck surgery is the most frequent cause of hypoparathyroidism. Complications of surgery on the parathyroid glands is another common cause of this disorder. There is the possibility of autoimmune genetic disorders causing hypoparathyroidism such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis pernicious anemia , and Addison's disease. The destruction of the gland by radiation is a rare cause of hypoparathyroidism. Occasionally, the parathyroids are absent at birth causing low calcium levels and possible convulsions in the newborn. Symptoms in the advanced and continuous stages of hypoparathyroidism include splitting of the nails, inadequate tooth development and

hypoparathyroidism DEFINITION: The condition produced by greatly reduced function of the parathyroids possibly due to autoimmune disease or genetic factors , or by the removal of those bodies. The lack of parathyroid hormone leads to a fall in plasma calcium levelwhich may result in increased neuromuscular excitability and, ultimately, tetany followed by a rise in plasma phosphate level. Bone turnover is reduced; there may also be dermatologic ophthalmologic cataracts psychiatric , and dental symptoms , and associated primary failure of other endocrine glands , e.g., the adrenal cortex The definitions used in this glossary of terminology either have been provided by the authors of the articles, or have been extracted wholly or in part, or paraphrased from the following sources: The American Medical Association Encyclopedia of Medicine , Charles B.

However, the thyroid glands and parathyroid glands have nothing to do with each other. The Parathyroid glands, (together with the intestines, kidneys and bones - under the influence of Para Thyroid Hormone, PTH), control very precisely the level of Calcium in the blood. Vitamin D is also required. As usual, Hypo means low. Low levels of PTH lowers the levels of Calcium in the blood, leading eventually to Hypocalcemia. Calcium is used extensively in the body, including nerve conduction and muscle contraction.
