Parathyroid Gland and Kidney Stones. The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located within the thyroid gland in the neck. They produce parathyroid hormone, which helps control the amount of calcium in the blood.

This may lead to too much calcium in the urine, which makes it more likely that you will have calcium kidney stones.
