A member asked:
Can you be both hypothyroid and hyperparathyroid?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Hypothyroidism is low production of thyroid hormone by the thyroid gland. Hyperparathyroidism is overproduction of PTH by parathyroid glands. Although the parathyroid glands are next to the thyroid, they are completely unrelated glands, and can cause problems seperately or together. Hypothyroidism is fairly common, so is primary hyperparathyroidism in women, so you could easily have both.
