Parathyroid Deficiency and Excess Symptoms and Treatments
Parathyroid glands behind the thyroid regulate calcium, with deficiency causing cramps headaches and muscle issues corrected by calcium supplements and vitamin D. In some cases gland extract may be used. excess causes weakness, weight loss, bone calcium loss, and thirst, diagnosable by examination and bone X-rays.
Diagnosis and treatment for calcium and phosphorus disorders
The text discusses how X rays and tests reveal if bone calcium is lost, cysts form, and how calcium excretion and blood phosphorus levels reflect the condition. It notes excess secretion lowers blood phosphorus and increases urinary calcium, and that diagnosis leads to surgery as best treatment. Tumors or gland overgrowth may require removal or partial gland excision for relief.
