Overview
Hyperparathyroidism can be classified according to origin of defect into primary, secondary and tertiary.
Classification
Hyperparathyroidism can be classified into primary, secondary and tertiary.
Primary hyperparathyroidism
- Primary hyperparathyroidism is due to over activity of the parathyroid glands themselves. The most important causes of oversecretion of parathyroid hormone include:
- Adenoma
- Hyperplasia
- Carcinoma of the parathyroid glands
Secondary hyperparathyroidism
Secondary hyperparathyroidism is due to increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone from a secondary process.
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism
Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a state of excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) after a long period of secondary hyperparathyroidism and resulting in hypercalcemia.
