Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Chronic hyperparathyroidism leads to excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone, which causes excess calcium to be released from the bones. This can lead to osteoporosis and pathologic fractures. Seizure disorder and hyponatremia are not typically associated with hyperparathyroidism, while vitamin D malabsorption may be a contributing factor, but is not a direct problem associated with the condition.
