In this segment, Dr. Robert Udelsman, the Chief of Endocrine Surgery at the Miami Cancer Institute, explains what the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism means, what are the symptoms and its potential complications. This is one of the most common hormonal disorders in which symptoms might get confused with getting older, but hyperparathyroidism may raise the levels of calcium in the bloodstream, hypercalcemia, causing all kinds of problems, which can range from depression to severe loss of bone and kidney stones. Dr. Udelsman identifies ways to diagnose and treat this condition.
