Question

A tumor present on the parathyroid gland causing hyperparathyroidism may lead to
A) osteoporosis and kidney stones.
B) diabetes mellitus and hypercortisolism.
C) diabetes mellitus.
D) diabetes insipidus.
E) hypogonadism.

Accepted Answer

A tumor on the parathyroid gland causing hyperparathyroidism can result in excessive calcium release into the bloodstream leading to osteoporosis and kidney stones. It is due to the overproduction of parathyroid hormone (PTH), which stimulates the release of calcium from bones and increases the reabsorption of calcium by the kidneys, leading to osteoporosis and kidney stones. Hyperparathyroidism is not associated with the other conditions listed in the answer choices.
