Parathyromatosis is a rare condition that causes persistent or recurrent hyperparathyroidism. About 300,000 patients receive dialysis annually in the United States and many of them eventually develop a condition called secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT), said spokeswoman Kelly Stoddard. Hyperparathyroidism may cause no problems for many years or it may cause problems such as tiredness, weakness, muscle or bone pain, constipation, indigestion, kidney stones, or thinning of bones. |
