Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition in which the parathyroid glands produce too little parathyroid hormone. This hormone plays an essential role in regulating calcium and phosphorus levels in the body, which are important for nerve function, muscle contraction and bone health. When parathyroid hormone levels are low, calcium levels in the blood drop while phosphorus levels rise. This imbalance can …

Hyponatremia is a condition in which the level of sodium in the blood is abnormally low. Sodium is an essential electrolyte that helps regulate water balance in and around cells, supports nerve function and plays a key role in muscle activity.

Excess parathyroid hormone causes calcium levels in the blood to rise. High calcium can affect bones, kidneys, digestive organs, …

Hyperoxaluria is a rare condition in which the body produces too much oxalate or cannot properly eliminate it through the kidneys. Oxalate is a natural substance found in certain foods and is also produced by the liver. Excess oxalate combines with calcium to form crystals, which can build up in the kidneys and other organs. Oxalosis is a severe complication …
