Parathyroid

Parathyroid (from the Latin parathyreoidea - parathyroid gland and privus - devoid of anything) is a term denoting the absence or insufficient function of the parathyroid glands.

The parathyroid glands are small endocrine glands located in the neck along the back of the thyroid gland. They produce parathyroid hormone, which regulates the exchange of calcium and phosphorus in the body.

Parathyroid syndrome develops when the parathyroid glands are damaged or removed. This leads to a decrease in calcium levels and an increase in phosphorus levels in the blood. Clinically manifested by skeletal muscle cramps, tetany, and ECG changes. Treatment consists of lifelong intake of calcium and vitamin D supplements.

Thus, parathyroidism is a condition associated with insufficient function of the parathyroid glands, which leads to disturbances in calcium metabolism in the body. Timely diagnosis and treatment of this syndrome is extremely important to prevent complications.

Parathyroid syndrome refers to a rare disease that occurs as a result of the parathyroid gland. This pathology is associated with the development of a thyroid disease such as diffuse toxic goiter (thyrotoxicosis).
