Underactivity of the glands (hypoparathyroidism) causes low blood calcium, producing symptoms such as tingling, muscle spasms, and sometimes seizures (fits). <br \/>Hypoparathyroidism may be due to accidental damage during surgery or the immune system mistakenly attacking parathyroid tissue.<br \/> Treatment is with calcium and vitamin D supplements. Overactivity of the parathyroids (hyperparathyroidism) causes high blood calcium. <br \/>Symptoms may include depression, tiredness, excessive urination, weakness, confusion and, in severe cases, unconsciousness. <br \/>The high calcium levels may also cause kidney stones. Hyperparathyroidism may be caused by a benign tumor in one of the glands or may be due to another disorder, such as kidney disease.<br \/> Treatment is with surgery or medication, or of the underlying cause.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The four parathyroid glands produce a hormone that regulates levels<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[16],"class_list":["post-3393","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-blog","tag-med-signs"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3393","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3393"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3393\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3393"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3393"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/kidneydiseaseclinic.net\/kdc\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3393"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
