Why a CKD Patient Should Keep An Eye On PTH Hormone

In his informative video, Dr. Puru Dhawan discusses the parathyroid gland and its connection to kidney disease. He uses a diagram to explain the location of the glands and their crucial role in regulating calcium levels in the body through parathyroid hormone secretion.

Dr. Dhawan also covers the active and inactive forms of Vitamin D and their relationship with the function of the parathyroid hormone. He explains the sudden increase in parathyroid hormone levels in patients with kidney failure and emphasizes the importance of maintaining healthy bones to manage this condition.

Towards the end of the video, Dr. Dhawan highlights the significance of TSS and PARATHYROID tests in diagnosing and treating high levels of parathyroid hormone. He compares parathyroid hormones and thyroid hormones and explains that if the thyroid is functioning properly, food will be digested correctly, and the body will have enough energy while the brain will work efficiently.

Dr. Dhawan also points out that both males and females are susceptible to thyroid problems, with females being more prone to them.
