Hyperplasia is Rare: Parathyroid Disease confusion in diagnosis

Wed, 22 Dec 2010 09:26:14 GMT

Hyperplasia is Rare. Dr James Norman from the Norman Parathyroid Center speaks with a group of endocrinologists during and AACE meeting. You will learn the three (3) causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism are renal failure, Gastric bypass, and celiac disease and that there are no causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism that cause calcium levels over 10.1. You will also learn that hyperplasia is RARE and that after the resection of the parathyroid tumor, the parathyroid hormone levels are very very low when measuring PTH in realtime. IOPTH takes too long.

Low Vitamin D Does NOT Cause High Calcium

Tue, 07 Dec 2010 17:31:55 GMT

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 to normal. You will also hear that you need to be very careful when giving vitamin D to hypercalcemic patients and that low vitamin D should help endocrinologists diagnose primary hyperparathyroidism
