what is the connection between a parathyroid tumor and bone loss
When one or more of the parathyroid glands are over active, too much calcium is pulled out of the bones. This is called hyperparathyroidism or parathyroid disease. Primary hyperparathyroidism means this disorder originates in the parathyroid glands.hen the parathyroid glands secrete too much hormone, blood calcium rises. This condition of excessive calcium in the blood, called hypercalcemia, is what usually signals the doctor that something may be wrong with the parathyroid glands.
