PALO ALTO, Calif. -- As part of its continuing program to recognize achievement in medicine, Expertscape.com announces its inaugural ranking of the top institutions and individual specialists for the common endocrine disorder known as hyperparathyroidism.
Hyperparathyroidism generally results from overactive parathyroid glands, which normally are small and unobtrusive glands located in the neck. Overactive glands produce excess parathyroid hormone which, over time, can cause osteoporosis, kidney stones, and cardiovascular disease. Surgery to remove the affected glands is the most common treatment.
