Parathyroid hyperplasia - (pronounced) (PAYR-uh-THY-royd HY-per-PLAY-zhuh) condition in which the parathyroid glands (four pea-sized glands in the neck) are larger than normal. This condition can cause the glands to produce too much parathyroid hormone, which can lead to loss of calcium from the bones, too much calcium in the blood, bone fractures, and other health problems. Parathyroid hyperplasia can be caused by chronic kidney disease, low vitamin D levels, and other conditions. It can also occur in people with certain inherited disorders, including multiple endocrine neoplasia (MEN) syndrome and familial isolated hyperparathyroidism
