21
Q

Primary hyperparathryoidism is

A

Secrete excessive amounts of PTH

MC from parathyroid adenoma

Excessive Ca++

22
Q

For secondary hyperparathryoidism plasma Ca++ levels are low never

A

HIGH why its different from primary

Causes hypocalcemia

Vit. D. Deficiency
Chronic renal failure

23
Q

Hypoparathryoidism is

A

Low levels of PTH

Hypocalcemia

Common from thyroid surgery

Treat with oral Ca++ and Vit. D

24
Q

Psuedohypoparathroidism is associated with

A

Short stature, short neck, obesity, metacarpals calcified

Aka Albright hereditary osteodystrophy

Increased PTH levels

25
Q

Hypercalcemia malignancy is different bc

A

PTH is low bc hypercalcemia suppress it, thats why its different from primary hyperparathryoidism

26

A

Autosomal dominant disorder

Low urinary Ca excretion

27
Q

A

C cells of the thyroid gland

Increases Ca++ increases secretion

Inhibits osteoclasts bone resorption

28
