==Overview==
==[[Secondary hyperparathyroidism overview|Overview]]==
'''Secondary hyperparathyroidism''' refers to the excessive secretion of [[parathyroid hormone]] (PTH) by the [[parathyroid gland]]s in response to [[hypocalcemia]] (low [[blood]] [[calcium]] levels) and associated hypertrophy of the glands. This disorder is especially seen in patients with chronic renal failure. It is often--although not consistently--abbreviated as SHPT in medical literature.


==Signs and Symptoms==
==[[Secondary hyperparathyroidism historical perspective|Historical Perspective]]==
Bone and joint pain are common, as are limb deformities. The elevated PTH has also pleiotropic effects on blood, immune system and neurological system.


==Diagnosis==
==[[Secondary hyperparathyroidism classification|Classification]]==
The PTH is elevated due to a low serum (ionized) calcium.

==Causes==
==[[Secondary hyperparathyroidism screening|Screening]]==
[[Chronic renal failure]] is the most common causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism. Failing [[kidneys]] do not convert enough [[vitamin D]] to its active form, and they do not adequately excrete [[phosphorus]]. When this happens, insoluble [[calcium phosphate]] forms in the body and removes calcium from the circulation. Both processes leads to hypocalcemia and hence secondary hyperparathyroidism.


==Treatment==
==[Secondary hyperparathyroidism natural history, complications and prognosis|Natural History, Complications and Prognosis]]==
If the underlying cause of the hypocalcemia can be addressed, the hyperparathyroidism will resolve. In patients with chronic renal failure treatment consists of dietary restriction of phosphorus, supplements with the active form of [[vitamin D]], and [[phosphate binders]].


==Prognosis==
==Diagnosis==
If left untreated, the disease will progress to [[tertiary hyperparathyroidism]], where correction of the underlying cause will not stop excess PTH secretion, i.e. parathyroid gland hypertrophy becomes irreversible.
