In mathematics , a tertiary ideal is an two sided Ideal ring theory ideal in a perhaps noncommutative Ring mathematics ring that cannot be expressed as a nontrivial intersection of a right fractional ideal with another ideal. Tertiary ideals generalize primary ideal s to the case of noncommutative ring s. Although primary decomposition s do not exist in general for ideals in noncommutative rings, tertiary decompositions do, at least if the ring is Noetherian ring Noetherian . Every primary ideal is tertiary. Tertiary ideals and primary ideals coincide for commutatitve rings. To any two sided ideal, a tertiary ideal can be associated called the tertiary radical, defined as math t I r in R mbox mbox forall s notin I, mbox exists x in s mbox x notin I text and x r subset I . , math Then t I always contains I .

DiseasesDB 6309 ICD10 ICD10 E 21 e 20 ICD9 ICD9 252.0 ICDO OMIM MedlinePlus eMedicineSubj eMedicineTopic MeshID Tertiary hyperparathyroidism is a state of excessive secretion of parathyroid hormone PTH after a long period of secondary hyperparathyroidism and resulting hypercalcemia . It reflects development of autonomous unregulated parathyroid function following a period of persistent parathyroid stimulation. The basis of treatment is still prevention in chronic renal failure, starting medication and dietary restrictions long before dialysis treatment is initiated. Cinacalcet has greatly reduced the number of patients who ultimately require surgery for secondary hyperparathyroidism however, approximately 5 of patients do not respond to medical therapy. When secondary hyperparathyroidism is corrected and the parathyroid glands remain hyperfunctioning, it becomes tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The treatment of choice is surgical removal of three and one half parathyroid glands .
