The Diagnosis and Treatment of Hypoparathyroidism

Abstract

Hypoparathyroidism is a disorder characterized by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia and low or inappropriately normal levels of parathyroid hormon. Hypoparathyroidism may be due to congenital or acquired pathologies. The most common causes of hypoparathyroidism is iatrogenic after surgical operations on thyroid, or parathyroids as well as autoimmune. Although paresthesia and tetany are frequent findings, the disorder may also manifest acutely with seizures, bronchospasm, laryngospasm or cardiac rhythm disturbances. Parental treatment is necessary in case of hypocalcemia is symptomatic or the serum total calcium <7mg/dL. However, vitamin D supplementation as an addition to oral calcium in patients with asymptomatic and milder degrees of hypocalcemia may be required. Thiazide diuretics may also be added to calcium and vitamin D supplementation in long term to prevent hypercalciuria. Recombinant human parathormon stimulates renal reabsorption of calcium and promotes phosphate excretion. However, since the long term safety has not been establish, to widespread use there is a need for further studies.
