Hyperparathyroidism: Three Most Commonly Asked Questions
Parathyroid Disease and the three most commonly asked questions.
Parathyroid Surgery Pre-op Chat with Dr. Norman
Listen in as Dr. Norman chats with a patient before their parathyroid operation.
Endocrinologist asks about tests, cure rate, and malignancy
Endocrinologist tells others about what tests are needed to diagnose primary hyperparathyroidism, then asks leading experts about cure rate and percentage of patients that have malignancy.
What Is Calcium And Why Is It So Important?
Learn how Calcium is affected by parathyroid glands and how parathyroid glands are the control system for the levels of calcium in your body.
Low Vitamin D Does NOT Cause High Calcium
Dr James Norman from the Norman Parathyroid Center speaks with a group of endocrinologists during and AACE meeting. You will learn that almost all patients with primary hyperparathyroidism have low vitamin D and then after the parathyroid tumor is removed the vitamin D goes back
Parathyroid surgery: The probe is used for measuring parathyroid hormone.
During parathyroid surgery, Drs. Norman and Politz us the probe to measure the parathyroid hormone NOT to localize the tumor. The probe measures the amount of parathyroid homone being produced by the parathyroid glands. The parathyroid tumor has higher measurements than a normal parathyroid gland.
Part I : Parathyroid Disease- Areas of Confusion in Diagnosing Primary Hyperparathyroidism
Shows how 1,445 endocrinologists did workups on more than 10,000 patients with high calcium levels and the trends of endocrinologists around the world in diagnosing primary hyperparathyroidism. Also discussed is how FHH cannot be distinguished from PHPT with a 24 hr urine test.
What Is Hyperparathyroidism?
Learn about parathyroid glands and what happens when they become tumors and which symptoms are because you have too much calcium in your blood.
The Norman Parathyroid Center: Who we are and what to expect
Learn why Norman Parathyroid Center has hyperparathyroidism cure rates over 99% and why ALL patients can have MIRP “mini” surgery even with negative scans.
Part II: Hyperparathyroidism: NIH Criteria and High Calcium Levels
High calcium and Hyperparathyroidism with NIH Criteria. Dr. Politz from the Norman Parathyroid Center presents a discussion on NIH criteria for diagnosing hyperparathyroidism to the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists.
