A single, 2 mm hypoplastic parathyroid gland was identified microscopically in the thyroid gland capsule.
Tests revealed that she had hyperparathyroidism, a rare disease in which a defective parathyroid gland allows dangerously high calcium levels (hypercalcaemia).
It experiences especially high expression in the parathyroid gland.
Parathyroid hormone is a protein made by the parathyroid gland under the control of serum calcium activity.
This is dependent on several histologic features within the abnormal parathyroid gland itself.
The calcium test can indicate or monitor bone diseases or diseases of the parathyroid gland or kidneys.
