Extractions: Approximately one million people in the United States suffer from one of two forms of hyperparathyroidism (HPT). This condition results from oversecretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) by the parathyroid glands. Primary HPT predominately affects postmenopausal women. Secondary HPT afflicts the vast majority of kidney dialysis patients. Calcimimetics may be the first safe and effective drug therapy for controlling both primary and secondary HPT. scientific publications Pharmacological regulation of parathyroid hormone secretion. The first safe and effective drug therapy for controlling both primary and secondary HPT may be provided by a class of orally active, small molecules known as calcimimetics , which were discovered by NPS Pharmaceuticals. These compounds act at calcium receptors on the surface of parathyroid cells that are known to exert direct control on the secretion of PTH. (Calcium receptors were first cloned in 1993 by NPS scientists and their collaborators at the Brigham and Women's Hospital in Boston .) In animal models and human clinical trials, calcimimetic drugs have demonstrated the ability to rapidly and significantly lower PTH levels in both primary and secondary HPT.

http://www.chclibrary.org/micromed/00052070.html

Extractions: Parathyroid glands are four pea-sized glands located just behind the thyroid gland in the front of the neck. The function of parathyroid glands is to produce a hormone called parathyroid hormone (parathormone), which helps regulate calcium and phosphorous in the body. Hyperparathyroidism is the overproduction of this hormone. Description Thyroid glands and parathyroid glands, despite their similar name and proximity, are entirely separate, and each produces hormones with different functions. Hyperparathyroidism may be primary or secondary. It most often occurs in those over age 30, and most commonly in patients 50 to 60 years old. It rarely occurs in children or the elderly. Women are affected by the disease up to three times more often than men. It is estimated that 28 of every 100,000 people in the United States will develop hyperparathyroidism each year. Normally, parathyroid glands produce the parathormone as calcium levels drop and lower to meet the demands of a growing skeleton, pregnancy , or lactation . However, when one or more parathyroid glands malfunctions, it can lead to overproduction of the hormone and elevated calcium level in the blood. Therefore, a common result of hyperparathyroidism is

Z Contents of this page: Parathyroid glands Definition Return to top Hyperparathyroidism is excessive production of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Return to top The parathyroid glands are located at the front and base of the neck around the thyroid gland. They produce parathyroid hormone , which regulates calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium levels within the blood and bone. When calcium levels are too low, the body responds by increasing production of parathyroid hormone. This increase in parathyroid hormone causes more calcium to be taken from the bone and more calcium to be reabsorbed by the intestines and kidney. When the cacium level returns to normal, parathyroid hormone production slows down. Excess parathyroid hormone can be produced for a variety of reasons. In some cases, parathyroid hormone is produced without regard to the calcium levels. This is called "primary hyperparathyroidism" and is caused by enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands. It is a common disorder affecting about 1 in 1000 people. The high levels of calcium and parathyroid hormone affect several body systems, including the skeletal, gastrointestinal

http://www.viahealth.org/disease/endocrinology/hyperpar.htm

Extractions: Hyperparathyroidism is caused by overactive parathyroid glands. Overactive parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormones, which in turn stimulate increased levels of calcium in the blood stream. The excess calcium released by the bones leads to osteoporosis and osteomalacia (both bone-weakening diseases). Other results of hyperparathyroidism are kidney stones, because of high levels of calcium excreted into the urine by the kidneys.

http://www.surgeryoftheneck.com/hyperp.htm

Extractions: Hyperparathyroidism Introduction U nder normal circumstances, the blood calcium is kept within the normal range by a hormone from the parathyroid glands. There are usually four parathyroid glands (two on either side of the neck) located on the posterior aspect of the thyroid gland. The main action of parathyroid hormone (PTH) is to raise the calcium blood level by releasing calcium from the bones. Parathormone also increases the absorption of calcium through the intestinal tract and effects the amount of calcium excreted through the urine, but these are secondary functions compared to the effect on the bones. The release of PTH is controlled by the serum calcium level. When the serum calcium level falls, the PTH level rises, which, in turn releases calcium from the bones to maintain the normal blood calcium level. When the calcium blood level is elevated, the parathormorne level should be low. The most frequent cause of hypercalcemia in the United States today is hyperparathyroidism. An estimated 100,000 new cases of hyperparathyroidism are seen in this country each year. This condition occurs 3-4 times more often in females than males and increases with age. Diagnosis Today most patients with primary hyperparathyroidism are identified incidentally by a multi-channel chemical blood analysis. Symptomatology of primary hyperparathyroidism includes the five classical groups of symptoms; painful bones, kidney stones, abnormal groans, psychic moans, and fatigue overtones. Table 1 shows frequency of different symptomatology. The diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism depends upon; 1) repeated documentation of hypercalcemia, 2) the exclusion of external causes of hypercalcemia, (such as high doses of vitamins A or D or large amounts of calcium containing substances, 3) normal kidney function, 4) the exclusion of malignancy, and 5) parathormone (PTH) assay levels appropriately elevated in relation to concurrently determined serum calcium.
