Medical Conditions - Parathyroid Hormone

Parathyroid hormone is secreted by the parathyroid glands, located near the thyroid gland in the neck. It is important for the regulation of calcium in the body by acting through the kidney, bones, and intestine. Increased secretion of parathyroid hormone causes an increase in the level of calcium, and it results in primary hyperparathyroidism. Secondary hyperparathyroidism occurs due to a low level of blood calcium and vitamin D deficiency.
