Resumen
- May present with symptomatic hypocalcaemia, perioral and digital paraesthesias, positive Chvostek's and Trousseau's signs. If the condition does not cause clinically significant hypocalcaemia, hypoparathyroidism may be entirely asymptomatic.
- Majority of cases are iatrogenic, following surgery; other causes include congenital, infiltrating disease, PTH suppression, PTH resistance, HIV/AIDS.
- Initial laboratory tests typically reveal low calcium and low or inappropriately normal immunoreactive PTH, and may reveal low magnesium and low vitamin D.
- Urgent calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D replacement is indicated if symptoms are present.
