Overview
The exact pathogenesis of [disease name] is not fully understood.
OR
It is thought that [disease name] is the result of / is mediated by / is produced by / is caused by either [hypothesis 1], [hypothesis 2], or [hypothesis 3].
OR
[Pathogen name] is usually transmitted via the [transmission route] route to the human host.
OR
Following transmission/ingestion, the [pathogen] uses the [entry site] to invade the [cell name] cell.
OR
[Disease or malignancy name] arises from [cell name]s, which are [cell type] cells that are normally involved in [function of cells].
OR
The progression to [disease name] usually involves the [molecular pathway].
OR
The pathophysiology of [disease/malignancy] depends on the histological subtype.
Pathophysiology
Physiology
The effect of parathyroid hormone on mineral metabolism is as follows:[1][2]
- Effect of parathyroid hormone on inorganic phosphate metabolism:
- Increases excretion of inorganic phosphate from kidney resulting in decreased serum concentration of phosphate.
- Effect on parathyroid hormone on calcium metabolism:
- Direct effect:
- Increased resorption of bones.
- Decreases excretion from kidney.
- Indirect effect:
- Increases conversion of inactive 25-hydroxy vitamin D to the active 1,25-dihydroxy vitamin D which increases absorption of calcium from gut. Decreased phosphate concentration also increases this conversion process. Vitamin D shows synergism with parathyroid hormone action on bone.
- Decreased serum inorganic phosphate concentration prevents precipitation of calcium phosphate in bones.
- Both these direct and indirect mechanism results in an increased serum calcium concentration.
- Direct effect:
- Effect of parathyroid hormone on magnesium concentration:
Effect of minerals and vitamin D on parathyroid hormone:
- Decrease in serum calcium concentration stimulates parathyroid hormone.
- Calcium provides negative feedback on parathyroid hormone.
- Magnesium provides negative feedback on parathyroid hormone.
- Vitamin D decreases the concentration of parathyroid hormone.

Pathogenesis
- Parathyroid adenoma results in an increase in parathyroid hormone secretion.[3]
- Calcium-sensing receptor expression in reduced in parathyroid adenoma resulting in an increase in calcium sensing set point.[4][5]
Calcium-sensing receptors
- Calcium-sensing receptors are present on parathyroid glands. They are a type of 7-transmembrane receptors in G-protein coupled receptors superfamily of receptors.[6]
- Calcium-sensing receptors sense change in extracellular concentration of ionized calcium.[7]
- Calcium-sensing receptor expression in reduced in primary hyperparathyroidism (parathyroid adenoma) and secondary hyperparathyroidism.[4]
- This reduced expression of receptor causes an increases in calcium sensing set point.[5]
- This in turn leads to increase in secretion of parathyroid hormone in presence on normal serum concentration of extracellular ionized calcium.
