Hyperparathyroidism generally results from overactive parathyroid glands, which normally are small and unobtrusive glands located in the neck.  Overactive glands produce excess parathyroid hormone which, over time, can cause osteoporosis, kidney stones, and cardiovascular disease.  Surgery to remove the affected glands is the most common treatment.
