The thyroid is an organ that is essential to life. It produces hormo­nes that play an impor­tant role in meta­bolic pro­cesses. These help regulate count­less bodily functions. Thyroid disorders can affect the entire organism. For this reason, if there is the slightest rea­son to suspect a thyroid dis­ease, imme­diate and thorough investi­gation and dia­gnosis is essen­tial. Thyroid diseases can often be treated conserva­tively if dis­covered and addressed at an early stage. However, our specia­lists are also here to assist you in cases where surgi­cal inter­vention is required.

Parathyroid

The parathyroid plays an important role in regulating calcium meta­bolism. An overactive para­thyroid (hyper­para­thyroidism) leads to an elevated calcium level in the blood (hyper­calcemia). This is bad for the blood vessels and can cause kidney stones and stomach ulcers.

Con­versely, under­activity (hypo­para­thyroidism) can cause symptoms arising from a low calcium level (hypo­calcemia).
