Preferred Label : Hyperparathyroidism;
NCIt definition : Hyperfunction of the parathyroid glands resulting in the overproduction of parathyroid
hormone. It may be primary or secondary; primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by
parathyroid adenoma, parathyroid hyperplasia, parathyroid carcinoma, and multiple
endocrine neoplasia. It is associated with hypercalcemia and hypophosphatemia. Signs
and symptoms include weakness, fatigue, nausea, vomiting, constipation, depression,
bone pain, osteoporosis, cystic bone lesions, and kidney stones. Secondary hyperparathyroidism
is caused by the chronic stimulation of the parathyroid glands in patients with chronic
renal failure, rickets, and malabsorption syndromes.;
Alternative definition : NICHD: Elevated concentration of parathyroid hormone. Causes include conditions originating
within the parathyroid glands (primary), in response to hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia
(secondary), and renal disease (tertiary). Characteristics may include polyuria, polydipsia,
constipation, lethargy, cognitive dysfunction, hypercalciuria, nephrolithiasis, and
bone demineralization or reduced bone mineral density.; NCI-GLOSS: A condition in which the parathyroid gland (one of four pea-sized organs
found on the thyroid) makes too much parathyroid hormone. This causes a loss of calcium
from the bones and an increased level of calcium in the blood. Symptoms include bone
pain and kidney problems.; CTCAE: A disorder characterized by an increase in production of parathyroid hormone
by the parathyroid glands. This results in hypercalcemia (abnormally high levels of
calcium in the blood).;
