Hypersecretion of calcitonin - what does this mean
Hypersecretion of calcitonin is caused by a tumor in the thyroid gland, which leads to an overproduction of the hormone calcitonin. this hormone helps to regulate the amount of calcium in the bloodstream, and when too much is produced, it can lead to a decrease in the amount of calcium in the bloodstream, resulting in symptoms such as muscle weakness, fatigue, and bone pain.
What happens during the disease - hypersecretion of calcitonin
Hypersecretion of calcitonin is caused by an overproduction of the hormone calcitonin from the parafollicular cells of the thyroid gland. this overproduction can be caused by a variety of factors including genetic mutations, thyroid cancer, or benign tumors of the thyroid. the excess hormone can cause a decrease in calcium levels in the blood, leading to symptoms such as muscle cramps, fatigue, and bone pain.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Physical examination
- Blood tests to check calcium levels
- Thyroid function tests
- Imaging tests such as X-ray, CT scan, or MRI
- Ultrasound of the thyroid
- Biopsy of the thyroid
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: Reduce the secretion of calcitonin.
- Administering medications such as somatostatin analogs and dopamine agonists
- Surgery to remove the part of the thyroid gland that is producing excessive calcitonin
- Radiation therapy to reduce the amount of calcitonin produced
- Chemotherapy to reduce the amount of calcitonin produced
- Dietary changes to reduce the amount of calcium in the diet
- Regular monitoring of calcitonin levels
9 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Hypersecretion of calcitonin - Prevention
The primary prevention of hypersecretion of calcitonin is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and alcohol. additionally, regular monitoring of calcium levels is recommended for individuals with a family history of the condition.
