What is parathyroid hyperplasia?
Parathyroid hyperplasia is a different condition to hyperparathyroidism. With hyperplasia, all 4 parathyroid glands become enlarged, but an adenoma doesn’t grow inside the glands. There’s no known cause, but it’s thought that long-term use of the drug lithium may increase the risk of developing the condition.
