What happens during the disease - primary hyperparathyroidism
Primary hyperparathyroidism is caused by an overactive parathyroid gland that produces too much of the hormone parathyroid hormone (pth). this overproduction of pth leads to increased levels of calcium in the blood, decreased levels of phosphate, and increased levels of alkaline phosphatase. this imbalance in calcium and phosphate levels can lead to a variety of symptoms, including bone pain, kidney stones, and fatigue.
Primary hyperparathyroidism - Prevention
Primary hyperparathyroidism can be prevented by avoiding exposure to radiation, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, and avoiding certain medications that can increase the risk of developing the condition.
