			'''Parathyroiditis''' is an inflammation of the [[parathyroid glands]], which are small endocrine glands located in the neck behind the [[thyroid gland]]. These glands are responsible for regulating the body's [[calcium]] levels through the secretion of [[parathyroid hormone]] (PTH).

	== Causes ==		== Causes ==
	Parathyroiditis can be caused by ~~various~~ factors, including:		Parathyroiditis can be caused by several factors, including:
	* [[Autoimmune ~~disorders~~]]		* [[Autoimmune disease]]: The body's immune system mistakenly attacks the parathyroid glands.
	* [[~~Infections~~]]		* [[Infection]]: Bacterial or viral infections can lead to inflammation of the parathyroid glands.
	* [[Surgery]] ~~or trauma to~~ the neck		* [[Surgery]]: Surgical procedures involving the neck or thyroid can sometimes result in parathyroiditis.
	* [[Radiation therapy]]
	* [[Genetic conditions]]

	== Symptoms ==		== Symptoms ==
	The symptoms of parathyroiditis ~~can vary depending on the severity of the inflammation and the underlying cause. Common symptoms~~ include:		The symptoms of parathyroiditis may include:
	* [[Neck pain]]		* [[Neck pain]]
	* [[~~Swelling~~]] ~~in the neck~~		* [[Dysphagia]] (difficulty swallowing)
	* [[Hypercalcemia]] (~~high~~ calcium levels)		* [[Hypercalcemia]] (elevated calcium levels in the blood)
	* [[Hypocalcemia]] (low calcium levels)
	* [[Fatigue]]		== Complications ==
	* [[~~Muscle weakness~~]]		If left untreated, parathyroiditis can lead to complications such as:
	* [[~~Bone pain~~]]		* [[Hypoparathyroidism]]: A condition where the parathyroid glands produce insufficient amounts of PTH.
			* [[Osteoporosis]]: A condition characterized by weakened bones due to imbalanced calcium levels.

	== Diagnosis ==		== Diagnosis ==
	Diagnosis of parathyroiditis typically involves:		Diagnosis of parathyroiditis typically involves:
	* [[Medical history]] and physical examination		* [[Blood test]]: To measure levels of calcium, phosphorus, and PTH.
	* [[Blood ~~tests~~]] to measure calcium and PTH ~~levels~~		* [[Imaging studies]]: Such as [[ultrasound]] or [[CT scan]] to visualize the parathyroid glands.
	* [[Imaging studies]] ~~such~~ as [[ultrasound]], [[CT scan]]~~, or [[MRI]]~~
	* [[Biopsy]] of the parathyroid ~~gland~~

	== Treatment ==		== Treatment ==
	Treatment for parathyroiditis ~~depends on the underlying cause and the severity of the condition. Options~~ may include:		Treatment options for parathyroiditis may include:
	* [[~~Medications~~]] to manage symptoms and ~~inflammation~~		* [[Medication]]: To manage symptoms and control calcium levels.
	* [[Surgery]] ~~to remove~~ affected parathyroid ~~tissue~~		* [[Surgery]]: In severe cases, surgical removal of the affected parathyroid gland(s) may be necessary.
	* [[Calcium]] and [[vitamin D]] supplements
	* [[Antibiotics]] if an infection is present

The prognosis for parathyroiditis varies depending on the underlying cause and the effectiveness of treatment. With appropriate management, many individuals can achieve good outcomes.
