Disease/Condition Glossary

Hyperparathyroidism: The parathyroid glands become overactive and secrete too much parathyroid hormone. This leads to hypercalcemia, i.e., a rise in calcium levels in the blood. Symptoms include muscle pain, joint weakness, tiredness, loss of appetite, bone pain, nausea, vomiting, and constipation.

Multiple myelomatosis: It is a type of cancer in which the plasma cells become cancerous and multiply. Plasma cells are a type of white blood cells in the bone marrow. Multiple myelomatosis damages the bones, kidneys, immune system, and red blood cell count. Hypercalcemia is the most frequent metabolic complication of myeloma.

Vitamin D-resistant hypophosphatemic osteomalacia or rickets: It is a bone disease that does not respond to treatment with vitamin D. This condition is characterised by hypophosphatemia (low phosphorus levels in the blood), diminished intestinal absorption of calcium, and increased renal clearance of phosphate. It is a metabolic disease that leads to reduced mineralisation of the bone matrix.
