Calcium and Parathyroid Disorders Treatment

Understanding Calcium and Parathyroid Disorders

When it comes to maintaining overall health, proper functioning of the parathyroid glands and balanced calcium levels are crucial. At Muir Diablo Occupational Medicine, we specialize in the treatment of calcium and parathyroid disorders to ensure the well-being of our patients.

Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a critical role in various bodily functions, including bone health, nerve transmission, muscle contraction, and blood clotting. Parathyroid glands, located in the neck, produce parathyroid hormone (PTH), which regulates calcium levels in the body.

However, disruptions in the normal balance of calcium and PTH can lead to a range of disorders, such as:

• Hypoparathyroidism: a condition characterized by insufficient PTH production.
• Hyperparathyroidism: an excess production of PTH, leading to elevated calcium levels.
• Calcium kidney stones: the formation of calcium crystals in the kidneys.
• Osteoporosis: a condition that weakens bones, making them more prone to fractures.
• Parathyroid tumors: abnormal growths in the parathyroid glands.

Treatment Options

At Muir Diablo Occupational Medicine, our experienced healthcare professionals work closely with patients to develop personalized treatment plans based on their specific condition and unique needs. With cutting-edge technology and multidisciplinary expertise, we provide comprehensive care for calcium and parathyroid disorders.

Hypoparathyroidism Treatment

In cases of hypoparathyroidism, our goal is to restore optimal calcium levels in the body. This may involve:

• Prescribing oral calcium supplements
• Administering vitamin D supplements to enhance calcium absorption
• Monitoring and adjusting medication dosages to maintain balanced calcium levels
• Close monitoring of symptoms and regular follow-ups

Hyperparathyroidism Treatment

For patients with hyperparathyroidism, our treatment approach varies depending on the severity and underlying causes. Options may include:

• Observation and periodic monitoring for mild cases
• Medication to manage symptoms and improve bone density
• Surgical intervention to remove the affected parathyroid glands
• Postoperative follow-up to ensure optimal recovery

Calcium Kidney Stones Treatment

Calcium kidney stones can cause discomfort and potentially affect kidney function. Our treatment strategies for kidney stones aim to:

• Provide dietary recommendations to reduce stone formation risk
• Prescribe medications to prevent stone formation and manage pain
• Suggest lifestyle modifications to promote kidney health
• Offer minimally invasive procedures for larger stones, if necessary

Osteoporosis Treatment

Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures. Our approach to osteoporosis treatment involves:

• Assessing bone density through specialized tests
• Prescribing medications to slow down bone loss or stimulate new bone formation
• Providing nutritional guidance to support bone health
• Designing customized exercise programs to enhance bone strength

Parathyroid Tumors Treatment

If parathyroid tumors are detected, our team will develop an appropriate treatment approach, which may include:

• Thorough evaluation to determine tumor characteristics
• Surgical removal of the tumor(s) to restore proper parathyroid function
• Postoperative monitoring and follow-up care
• Collaboration with other specialists, if needed
