Parathyroid Disease Treatment in India
About Parathyroid Disease
Key Highlights
-
Expert management of calcium and parathyroid hormone (PTH) imbalances by a hormone specialist.Comprehensive diagnostic evaluation using advanced blood tests and imaging to pinpoint the issue.Personalized treatment plans that may include medication, lifestyle guidance, or surgical coordination.Focus on preventing long-term complications such as osteoporosis, kidney stones, and cardiovascular issues.Ongoing monitoring and adjustment of therapy to ensure optimal and stable calcium levels.
Who is this surgery for?
- Persistently elevated blood calcium levels (hypercalcemia) found on routine testing.
- Symptoms of hyperparathyroidism like fatigue, bone/joint pain, frequent urination, kidney stones, or abdominal discomfort.
- Significant bone density loss (osteoporosis or osteopenia) detected on a DEXA scan.
- Impaired kidney function or history of calcium-based kidney stones.
- Confirmed diagnosis of primary, secondary, or tertiary hyperparathyroidism.
- Post-surgical hypoparathyroidism requiring calcium and vitamin D management.
How to prepare
- Compile a complete medical history, including all medications, supplements, and prior test results.
- Undergo specific blood tests to measure calcium, parathyroid hormone (PTH), vitamin D, and kidney function.
- Complete imaging studies as advised, such as a neck ultrasound or sestamibi scan, to locate abnormal glands.
- Possibly undergo a bone mineral density (DEXA) test to assess skeletal health.
- Discuss all current medications with your endocrinologist; some, like lithium or thiazide diuretics, may need adjustment.
- For surgical cases, a pre-anesthetic check-up and cessation of blood thinners as directed will be required.
Risks & possible complications
- For medical management: Potential side effects from medications, such as gastrointestinal issues or fluctuations in calcium levels.
- For diagnostic procedures: Minimal risks from blood draws or imaging, such as rare allergic reactions to contrast agents.
- If surgery is performed (by a surgeon): Risks include bleeding, infection, damage to nearby nerves affecting vocal cords, and persistent low calcium (hypoparathyroidism).
- Untreated or poorly managed disease can lead to progressive osteoporosis, kidney damage, heart problems, and neuropsychiatric symptoms.
Recovery & hospital stay
- For non-surgical management: Regular follow-up blood tests are crucial to monitor calcium and PTH levels and adjust medication.
- Adherence to prescribed medications, which may include calcimimetics, vitamin D, or calcium supplements.
- Dietary modifications, such as ensuring adequate hydration and possibly moderating calcium intake as advised.
- If surgery was performed, initial recovery involves monitoring for signs of hypocalcemia (tingling, muscle cramps) and wound care.
- Long-term follow-up with the endocrinologist to ensure disease remission, bone health recovery, and prevention of recurrence.
