Considerable advances have been made in the understanding of the pathogenesis and treatment of secondary hyperparathyroidism (SHPT) in chronic kidney disease (CKD). These include the discovery that ...
Patient-derived parathyroid organoids (PTOs) could pave the way for future physiology studies and drug-screening applications, as shown in a study published on October 27 in the journal Stem Cell ...
The parathyroid glands are four small glands located in the neck. They regulate the amount of calcium in the blood. If the glands are over-functioning, an individual may need surgery to remove one or ...
The endocrine system comprises glands and tissues that produce hormones to regulate and coordinate vital bodily functions. This article, the third in an eight-part series on the endocrine system, ...
Primary hyperparathyroidism occurs when one or more of the parathyroid glands overproduce the parathyroid hormone (PTH), which causes calcium to be pulled from the bones and intestinal track and ...
A newly developed handheld probe helped distinguish between thyroid and parathyroid tissues during surgical procedures, according to a diagnostic/prognostic study. Using real-time mass spectroscopy, ...
An investigational drug, encaleret, restored calcium levels in people with autosomal dominant hypocalcemia type 1 (ADH1), a rare genetic disorder marked by an imbalance of calcium in the blood and ...
You probably already know you need calcium for strong bones and teeth. But did you know that you need normal levels of this important mineral for healthy blood vessels, muscles, and nerves, too? If ...
