Thyroid and Parathyroid Disease

Thyroid & Parathyroid Care at Revere Health

The thyroid and parathyroid glands are small but essential parts of the endocrine system. They regulate metabolism, energy levels, bone health, and calcium balance. When these glands produce too much or too little hormone, various health issues can develop. Revere Health endocrinology specialists diagnose and treat thyroid and parathyroid disorders to restore balance and improve quality of life.

 

Common Thyroid Disorders

Hypothyroidism (Underactive Thyroid): Fatigue, weight gain, and cold sensitivity due to low hormone production

Hyperthyroidism (Overactive Thyroid): Rapid heartbeat, weight loss, anxiety, and heat intolerance from excess hormone

Thyroid Nodules/Goiter: Enlarged thyroid or growths that may cause difficulty swallowing or breathing

Thyroid Cancer: Less common but requires careful diagnosis and treatment

 

Parathyroid Disease

The parathyroid glands regulate calcium in the blood and bones. Disorders include:

Hyperparathyroidism: Overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), leading to high calcium, kidney stones, fragile bones, and fatigue

Hypoparathyroidism: Low PTH, causing low calcium, muscle cramps, tingling, or seizures

These conditions are treated by endocrinologists, and in some cases, ENT surgeons if surgery is needed.

 

Diagnosis & Treatment

Blood Tests: Measure hormone and calcium levels

Imaging: Ultrasound or scans to detect nodules or enlarged glands

Medication: Helps balance hormone production and manage symptoms

Minimally Invasive Surgery: Used for thyroid nodules, thyroid cancer, or hyperparathyroidism when medication is not effective
