Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Hyperparathyroidism is the overproduction of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands, which can lead to excessive calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia). Hypercalcemia can cause polyuria (increased urine output), hypertension, and kidney stones. Hyperthyroidism involves overactive thyroid hormone production, while hypothyroidism involves underactive thyroid hormone production. Hypoparathyroidism involves underproduction of parathyroid hormone.
