condition in which women without previously diagnosed diabetes exhibit high blood glucose levels during pregnancy
gestational diabetes
human immuno-deficiency virus that progresses into AIDS
HIV
excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone resulting in abnormally high levels of calcium in the blood; can affect many systems of the body (especially causing bone resorption and osteoporosis)
