The parathyroid hormone regulates the level of calcium in the blood, so an excess of this hormone would lead to high blood levels of calcium (hypercalcemia). Elevated blood triglyceride levels are not directly related to this condition. Bones with higher than normal sodium stores and higher than normal mineral density are not typically associated with hyperparathyroidism.
