Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2017 Hypoparathyroidism is a disease characterized by inadequately low circulating concentrations of parathyroid hormone (PTH) resulting in low calcium levels and increased phosphate levels in the blood. Symptoms of the disease result from increased neuromuscular irritability caused by hypocalcaemia and include tingling, muscle cramps and seizures. The most

Primary hypoparathyroidism in a dog [PDF]
Semina: Ciências Agrárias, 2014 The hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrinopathy reported in dogs, caused by a deficiency in the synthesis of parathyroid hormone (PTH). The lack of PTH causes hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia, resulting in a series of neurological and neuromuscular ...

Treatment of hypoparathyroidism
Best Practice & Research Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism, 2018 The goal of the clinical management of hypoparathyroidism is to correct acute and chronic hypocalcemia. Treatment of acute hypoparathyroidism via intravenous infusion of Ca++ salts, is necessary only in symptomatic patients, or in asymptomatic patients in the setting of a rapid decrease in ionized Ca++ levels.

Preoperative parathyroid hormone level as a predictive factor for post-thyroidectomy hypoparathyroidism [PDF]
Korean Journal of Clinical Oncology, 2013 Purpose: Whether the level of the preoperative parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a risk factor of postoperative hypoparathyroidism remains unclear. The aim of this study was to evaluate the predictive value of preoperative PTH for the hypoparathyroidism ...
