B. What's it title?
Hiperparatiroidismo Primario

C. What kind of publication is it?
Of medical information

D.Important ideas
*the hiperparatiroidismo is the excessive production of para-thyroid hormone by the parathyroid glands.
*The parathyroid glands are located in the neck, near or attached to the back of the thyroid gland.
*para-thyroid hormone that controls levels of calcium, phosphorus and vitamin D in the blood and bone.
*When calcium levels are too low, the body responds by increasing the production of para-thyroid hormone.
*There are two types of hyper-parathyroidism:Primary hyper-parathyroidism is caused by enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands
*If an individual shows mild hypercalcemia due to primary hyper-parathyroidism and no symptoms, you may just need regular checkups by a physician.If symptoms are present or the calcium level is too high, it may require surgery to remove the gland that is overproducing the hormone.

E. What did you figure out from the article?
that when calcium levels are too low, the body responds by increasing the production of para-thyroid hormone. This increase in parathyroid hormone causes more calcium is taken from the bone and the intestines and kidneys to absorb more calcium. And when the calcium level returns to normal, decreases the production of para-thyroid hormone.

F. Write a conclusion
the Primary hyper-parathyroidism is caused by enlargement of one or more of the parathyroid glands. This leads to this excessive para-thyroid hormone, which increases calcium levels in the blood.
