Parathyroid gland surgery
Some calcium phosphate stones resulting from the overactive parathyroid glands needs parathyroid gland surgery. The parathyroid glands are present on the four sides of the thyroid gland. When the parathyroid glands start producing excess amounts of parathyroid hormone, the calcium levels become excessive and start forming kidney stones. The doctor might also suggest the treatment of the underlying cause of hyperparathyroidism, which consequently stops the formation of kidney stones.
Hyperparathyroidism can sometimes develop when a benign, small tumor develops in either one of the parathyroid glands to produce excess amounts of parathyroid hormone. In addition, some other health conditions also lead to the higher secretion of parathyroid hormone. Surgical removal of the growth from the parathyroid gland helps to cease the formation of kidney stones.
