Parathyroid disorders lead to abnormal levels of calcium in the blood that can cause brittle bones, kidney stones, fatigue, weakness, and other problems.
At the University of Michigan, our experts are focused on making an accurate diagnosis through comprehensive testing and providing the best therapy options for each patient.
What are the Parathyroid Glands?

There are typically four parathyroid glands located near the thyroid gland. Each parathyroid gland is normally about the size of a grain of rice (about 3-5 millimeters in diameter and 30 - 60 milligrams in weight). Although the thyroid and parathyroid glands are physically near each other and are both part of your body's endocrine system, their functions are unrelated. Parathyroid glands release parathyroid hormone (PTH) which controls the calcium levels in the blood stream. Other areas of the body, especially the bones, kidneys and small intestine, respond to PTH by increasing calcium levels in the blood. Calcium is very important for our bodies, especially for muscle and nerve function.
