The parathyroid glands are small endocrine organs, which are located near the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands play a central role in calcium balance through the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid disease includes a range of disorders that disturb calcium balance, resulting in several biochemical abnormalities and clinical manifestations.

摘要

The parathyroid glands are small endocrine organs, which are located near the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands play a central role in calcium balance through the secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). Parathyroid disease includes a range of disorders that disturb calcium balance, resulting in several biochemical abnormalities and clinical manifestations. Surgery has a key role in many parathyroid diseases including benign, malignant, and hormonal disease processes. This chapter provides an in-depth exploration of the types, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of parathyroid diseases.
