Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is Secondary hyperparathyroidism?
The parathyroids are four glands in the neck that produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) to help control calcium use by the body.
Too much production of PTH caused by increased activity of these glands is known as hyperparathyroidism. When this occurs in response to low blood calcium that is caused by another condition, the hyperparathyroidism condition is called secondary hyperparathyroidism.
