Hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism

Hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism is a metabolic state characterized by subnormal circulating calcium concentrations resulting from absent or deficient secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) Primarily affecting the neuromuscular and cardiovascular systems, this electrolyte derangement increases neuromuscular excitability, manifesting clinically as perioral paresthesias, muscle cramping, carpopedal spasm, tetany, seizures, or cardiac dysrhythmias It most commonly occurs in adults fo...

Hypocalcemia associated with hypoparathyroidism is a metabolic state characterized by subnormal circulating calcium concentrations resulting from absent or deficient secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH) This endocrine disorder impairs normal bone resorption, reduces renal calcium reabsorption, and decreases renal synthesis of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, frequently leading to concurrent hyperphosphatemia It most commonly occurs in adults following anterior neck surgery, such as thyroidectomy, but ...
