The American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (AACE) and American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) have been working together to improve the quality of diagnostic ultrasound and ...

Parathyroid carcinoma (PC) is a rare entity with profound oncologic and surgical implications, accounting for < 1% of cases of primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT). PC typically presents as severe PHPT, ...

Hypoparathyroidism means that a person’s parathyroid glands do not produce enough parathyroid hormone. This is a relatively rare condition that usually occurs when the parathyroid glands are injured ...

Hyperparathyroidism is a condition wherein the parathyroid glands create too much parathyroid hormone. This can cause the levels of calcium in the blood to rise, which, without treatment, can lead to ...

Parathyroid cancer is a very rare type of cancer, leading to fragile and painful bones, digestive trouble, and kidney stones. Less than 100 people receive a diagnosis in the United States each year.

Ultrasound-guided radiofrequency ablation may result in a shorter hospital stay compared with parathyroidectomy. Minimally invasive radiofrequency ablation (RFA) can treat refractory secondary ...

In a retrospective study, investigators found that radiofrequency ablation and parathyroidectomy for secondary hyperparathyroidism in patients on dialysis achieved intact parathyroid hormone levels in ...

Parathyroid hormone (PTH) treatment mainly treats hypoparathyroidism (too little parathyroid hormone). Symptoms can include tingling, muscle cramps, and in severe cases, seizures. Recombinant human ...

Researchers have developed the first patient-derived parathyroid organoid (PTO), which accurately mimics parathyroid structure and function and could improve in vitro research and drug development.
