BACKGROUND: Primary aldosteronism (PA), an overt form of renin-independent aldosterone production, leads to a disproportionately high rate of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs). Mounting ...

Expanded screening using the Vaidya & Carey algorithm significantly improved primary aldosteronism detection in patients with ...

Secondary hyperparathyroidism is characterized by excess circulating parathyroid hormone. It can lead to serious health consequences, including cardiovascular disease and renal osteodystrophy.

Introduction: Normocalcemic primary hyperparathyroidism (NHPT) is considered to be an early stage in the evolution of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). To formulate a correct diagnosis, secondary ...

Primary hyperparathyroidism arises from the overactivity of the parathyroid glands, which secrete excessive parathyroid hormone (PTH). Learn more.

There are two main types of hyperparathyroidism, primary and secondary. In primary hyperparathyroidism, as the blood parathyroid hormone level begins to rise, the blood calcium level also rises.

Hyperparathyroidism may result from a diseased parathyroid gland (primary hyperparathyroidism) or be a normal response to compensate for low calcium blood levels (secondary hyperparathyroidism).
