Subtotal Resection of Parathyroids Preserving an Intact Parathyroid in Patients with Tertiary Hyperparathyroidism
Marcello Rosano
Abstract:Introduction: Parathyroid hormone, is one the controllers of calcium homeostasis, is synthesized and secreted by the parathyroid glands. They can become hyper functioning, generate excessive amounts of PTH, and determine the clinical-laboratory picture called hyperparathyroidism. When hyperparathyroidism is a consequence of a pre-existing metabolic imbalance, it is called secondary. Secondary hyperparathyroidism is thus an acquired disorder represented by parathyroid hypersecretion in response to calcium homeo… Show more
