Hyperparathyroidism causes osteoporosis.
See another Dr. for a second opinion before getting surgery.
Did she tell you what’s causing the problem?
There are two types of hyperparathyroidism.
Primary hyperparathyroidism causes high calcium levels in the blood.
Secondary hyperparathyroidism causes low calcium levels in the blood. It can be caused by kidney disease, tumors and can be hereditary. It can even be caused by iodine radiation to treat thyroid problems/cancer.
