Hyperparathyroidism - A discussion about surgery for this disease by Rancocas Valley Surgical Associates.

Parathyroid chief cell - Parathyroid chief cells are cells in the parathyroid glands which produce parathyroid hormone.
Parathyroid hormone - Parathyroid hormone (PTH), or parathormone, is secreted by the parathyroid glands as a polypeptide containing 84 amino acids. It acts to increase the concentration of calcium in the blood, whereas calcitonin (a hormone produced by the parafollicular cells (C cells) of the thyroid gland) acts to decrease calcium concentration.
Parathyroid hormone-related protein - Parathyroid hormone-related protein (or PTHrP) is a protein occasionally secreted by cancer cells (breast cancer, certain types of lung cancer including squamous cell carcinoma). However, it also has normal functions.
Parathyroid hormone receptor - There are two known parathyroid hormone receptors in mammals termed PTH1R and PTH2R. These receptors are members of the 7 transmembrane G protein-coupled family of receptors.
Hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia - Hypomagnesemia with secondary hypocalcemia (HSH) is an autosomal recessive genetic disorder affecting intestinal magnesium absorption. Decreased intestinal magnesium reabsorption and the resulting decrease in serum magnesium levels is believed to cause lowered parathyroid hormone (PTH) output by the parathyroid gland.
