The parathyroid glands regulate calcium levels in your body, and disorders like hyperparathyroidism, hypercalcemia, and parathyroid adenomas can seriously affect your bones, kidneys, and overall health. Dr. David Grant—an internationally recognized head and neck surgeon—offers expert diagnosis and treatment, delivering personalized care for parathyroid conditions at Grant Thyroid Surgery.
Hypercalcemia
Hypercalcemia occurs when there is too much calcium in the bloodstream, leading to fatigue, frequent urination, muscle weakness, and kidney stones. This condition is often caused by overactive parathyroid glands that release excessive amounts of parathyroid hormone (PTH), prompting bones to release calcium and reducing its excretion by the kidneys. Left untreated, hypercalcemia can lead to serious complications like osteoporosis, cardiac arrhythmias, and cognitive issues. Dr. Grant evaluates calcium and PTH levels through blood tests and imaging studies to identify the underlying cause and guide treatment.
Hyperparathyroidism
Hyperparathyroidism occurs when one or more of the parathyroid glands produce too much parathyroid hormone, disrupting the body’s calcium and phosphate balance and leading to bone loss, abdominal pain, and neurocognitive symptoms. There are two main types: primary hyperparathyroidism, caused by benign growth, and secondary hyperparathyroidism, often related to chronic kidney disease or vitamin D deficiency. Left untreated, hyperparathyroidism can result in significant bone loss and organ damage. Dr. Grant offers precise diagnostic testing and minimally invasive surgical options to effectively manage this condition.

Parathyroid Adenoma
A parathyroid adenoma is a benign parathyroid gland tumor that results in excessive hormone production, most commonly causing primary hyperparathyroidism. While not cancerous, these growths can lead to significant symptoms and complications due to elevated calcium levels. Surgical removal of the adenoma is typically curative. Dr. Grant specializes in minimally invasive parathyroidectomy to safely and effectively resolve the condition.
