FGF23 and the parathyroid glands
Pediatric Nephrology, 2010Fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) is a phosphatonin that is secreted by osteocytes and osteoblasts in response to hyperphosphatemia and 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D (1,25D). It acts on its receptor complex, Klotho-FGFR1c (fibroblast growth factor receptor 1 c-splicing form), in the distal convoluted tubule to repress renal phosphorus reabsorption in the ...

Preoperative imaging studies have an important role in facilitating successful localization of adenomas for surgeons. Their use has increased and parallels the recent growth of minimally invasive parathyroidectomy. Based on findings that scintigraphy is reported to have the highest accuracy for localization of adenomas when compared with anatomic ...

A history of the parathyroid glands
American Journal of Kidney Diseases, 1995Diseases of the parathyroid glands have always existed, affecting occasional individuals in every period and culture of the past. The significant changes in body build associated with their dysfunction must have attracted in the popular mind bewildering connotations that can be gleaned from their mythology.

Cancer of the Parathyroid Glands
Archives of Surgery, 1979Hyperfunctioning parathyroid carcinoma is a relatively rare endocrine tumor, accounting for approximately 1% of all cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. The diagnosis is suspected when the tumor is large, parathyroid hormone (iPTH) levels are high, and a palpable tumor is present in the neck. Patients who have recurrence of hyperparathyroidism several

Ultrasound (US) evaluation of the parathyroid glands is indicated in patients with borderline or elevated serum calcium levels to look for parathyroid adenoma or hyperplasia. Once the lesion is identified, a USG-FNA is performed for cytology evaluation and measurement of parathormone levels in needle rinses. This chapter covers cytologic and histologic

Cryosurgery of parathyroid glands
Cryobiology, 1974Abstract The effectiveness of cryosurgery in destruction of parathyroid glands in rats was studied by comparison of 4 experimental groups: 1. cryosurgery utilizing 3 patterns of repetitive freezing, 2. excision, 3. sham operation, or 4. no treatment. Evaluation included clinical observation of respirations and voice, serum calcium concentration, and ...

Parathyroids: The Forgotten Glands
Neonatal Network, 2000Symptomatic calcium disorders—most notably, hypocalcemia— are common problems in preterm and certain term infants. Many factors predispose susceptible neonates to hypo- or hypercalcemia, but in many cases, the root of the problem is altered function of the parathyroid glands.

Imaging of the Parathyroid Glands
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2012Parathyroid imaging is performed in the setting of primary hyperparathyroidism with intent to localize adenomatous parathyroid tissue before minimally invasive surgery. Available imaging options currently consist of ultrasound, radionuclide scanning, magnetic resonance imaging, and both conventional and "4 D" computed tomography.

The parathyroids differ from other endocrine glands in several respects. (1) The parathyroids appear late in phylogeny, being seen first in the amphibia. (2) While most endocrine glands make more than one hormone, only one hormone and one secretory cell type are regularly found in the parathyroids.
