==Overview==
Hyperparathyroidism is caused by an increase in concentration of parathyroid hormone in serum. There are three type of hyperparathyroidism including primary, secondary and tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The are an array of different causes for all types of hyperparathyroidism.
==Causes of Primary hyperparathyroidism==
Causes of primary hyperparathyroidism are as follows:
===Common causes===
*Parathyroid adenoma
**Usually single gland affected
**Sometimes multiple gland affected
===Less common causes===
*Parathyroid hyperplasia
*Parathyroid carcinoma
*Familial isloated hyperparathyroidism

==Natural history==
*Primary hyperparathyroidism usually develops in the fifth decade of life, in post-menopausal women and starts as asymptomatic hypercalcemia in presence of increased parathyroid hormone.
*If left untreated, some of patients with primary hyperparathyroidism may commonly develop marked hypercalcemia, marked hypercalciuria, cortical bone demineralization and nephrolithiasis.<ref name="pmid12412783">{{cite journal |vauthors=Peacock M |title=Primary hyperparathyroidism and the kidney: biochemical and clinical spectrum |journal=J.

=ECG=
There are no CT scan findings associated with hyperparathyroidism. However, a CT scan may be helpful in the diagnosis of cardiac complications of hyperparathyroidism.
Findings on ECG are due to hypercalcemia and includes:<ref name="pmid8201301">{{cite journal |vauthors=Lind L, Ljunghall S |title=Serum calcium and the ECG in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism |journal=J Electrocardiol |volume=27 |issue=2 |pages=99–103 |year=1994 |pmid=8201301 |doi= |url=}}</ref>
*ST segment - ST segment is short in patients with hyperparathyroidism when compared to normocalcemic patients. This represents a decrease in systolic interval.
