| This book describes Parathyroid Disorders, Diagnosis and Treatment and Related Diseases The 4 parathyroid glands, which are located at the back of thyroid in the neck, constantly monitor and control the amount of calcium, phosphorus and magnesium circulating in the blood. Hyperparathyroidism: Four little grains of parathyroid glands At the back of the butterfly shaped Thyroid Gland They all produce a bit of parathyroid hormone To regulate the calcium in the blood and bone But when the glands produce too much And one of the gland suddenly become enlarged The gland really makes me suffer all the weakness and pain From the loss of calcium accumulated in the bones in vain Calcium and phosphorus combine to make calcium phosphate. That material gives hardness and strength to bones and dental plate Calcium is also needed to help blood to clot after an injury. It is also required for muscles and nerves to work properly Phosphorus works with calcium to do these jobs. Excess parathyroid hormone will cause the phosphorus and energy to drop No medicine has been known to cure this wayward gland. I am afraid that only the gland’s removal will be the only end -An original poem by Kenneth Kee Hypoparathyroidism Four little grains of parathyroid glands At the back of the butterfly shaped Thyroid Gland They all produce a bit of parathyroid hormone To regulate the calcium in the blood and bone But when they produce too little parathyroid hormonally Or all of them suddenly become removed accidentally They really make us suffer all the cramps and pain From the drop in blood calcium accumulated in vain Calcium and phosphorus combine to make calcium phosphate. That material gives hardness and strength to bones and dental plate Calcium is also needed to help blood to clot after an injury. It is also required for muscles and nerves to work properly Phosphorus works with calcium to do these jobs. Without parathyroid hormone, calcium from the body is robbed No medicine has been known to cure this wayward gland. The only treatment is by giving calcium supplement -An original poem by Kenneth Kee Calcium-sensing receptors of parathyroid cells react to serum calcium level and change with higher release or suppression of PTH. PTH activates bone resorption which raises serum calcium and phosphorus. In the kidney, PTH activates reabsorption of calcium and stimulates phosphorus excretion. PTH also transform 25-hydroxyvitamin D to 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D in the kidneys, which then raises intestinal transport of calcium and phosphorus. Parathyroid disorders often present with serum calcium abnormalities. Rarely, patients can manifest with a neck mass. When the level of these minerals increase or decrease below normal, these 4 tiny glands adjust the volume of PTH they secrete. When more of this hormone is circulating, the bones release additional calcium into the blood. In contrast, when the parathyroid secretes fewer hormones, the bones give up less calcium. Vitamin D levels are also affected. This vital balance can get interrupted when the parathyroid glands malfunction, as a result of a disease, injury or another cause. Treatment is normally removal of the parathyroid glands in hyperparathyroidism and parathyroid tumors or supplements of calcium and vitamin D in hypoparathyroidism.
