Mater Private: Parathyroid glands are vital for health

“Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish co-operation of many individuals” — Albert Einstein

Recently two Mater Private Cork consultants collaborated on an interesting and relatively common condition — a case of primary hyperparathyroidism. The consultants involved were James Ryan and Tahir Khan.

Dr Ryan is a specialist in endocrinology and diabetes, which involves diagnosis and treating conditions that affect the normal production and balance of hormones.
