Abstract:
Hypoparathyroidism (HP) is caused by abnormalities of parathyroid hormone secretion, disordered parathyroid function and pseudohypoparathyroidism. The term pseudohypoparathyroidism describes a set of syndromes in which the effects of parathyroid hormone are blunted or absent. Patients with HP are hypocalcemic and hyperphosphatemic.
