🎙️ Episode Description: Parathyroid Disorders – Calcium Chaos & Glandular Clues
In this episode of PodBites, Sarah Tullah and Samra Mirza guide you through the calcium-regulating powerhouse that is the parathyroid gland—exploring how too much or too little PTH can wreak havoc across the body. Using case-based learning and crystal-clear breakdowns, they walk through the full range of parathyroid disorders, from overactive adenomas to surgical hypoparathyroidism.
💡 Key Highlights: ✔️ Primary Hyperparathyroidism – Adenoma, hyperplasia, carcinoma ✔️ Secondary Hyperparathyroidism – Chronic kidney disease and PTH overdrive ✔️ Hypoparathyroidism – Post-surgical causes, autoimmune, and CaSR mutation ✔️ Pathophysiology Made Simple – Why calcium drops, phosphate rises, and bones break ✔️ Clinical Clues & Management – Stones, bones, ECG changes, and vitamin D strategies ✔️ Practice Questions & Mnemonics – Classic signs, labs, and high-yield recalls
Whether you're revising for boards or finally figuring out what calciphylaxis actually is, this episode serves up calcium regulation in the most bite-sized, bingeable way.
