Flashcard 53: Secondary hyperparathyroidism over time often results in parathyroid _____
Answer: hyperplasia
Extra: - CKD → ↓ phosphate excretion → ↑ serum phosphate → phosphate binds Ca2+ → ↓ free Ca2+ → ↑ PTH.
- CKD also leads to ↓ Vitamin D activation (1-alpha-hydroxylase deficiency) → ↓ intestinal Ca2+ absorption → ↓ free Ca2+ → ↑ PTH.
- Chronic stimulation leads to **diffuse hyperplasia** of all four parathyroid glands.
- If the hyperplasia becomes autonomous and results in very high PTH and hypercalcemia, it is termed **tertiary hyperparathyroidism**.
