Abstract:
We documented the frequency of nephritic colic in patients with primary hyperparathyroidism, and determined its modification after the parathyroidectomy; we also studied laboratory parameters such as calcium, phosphorus and parathyroid hormone in serum, and the excretion of Cao 24h, previous and later to the intervention. At sight of the results it is possible to be concluded that the parathyroidectomy is useful in the treatment of the kidney stone disease produced by the primary hyperparathyroidism.

Hormones That Influence Osteoblasts and/or Maintain the Matrix
Several hormones are necessary for controlling bone growth and maintaining the bone matrix. The pituitary gland secretes growth hormone (GH), which, as its name implies, controls bone growth. This happens in several ways: first, it triggers chondrocyte...
