Encyclopedia (English) Toggle English Spanish Hypoparathyroidism Overview Symptoms Treatment Prevention Definition: a deficiency of parathyroid hormone that causes abnormal metabolism of calcium and phosphorus. Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Calcium and phosphorus are important body minerals. They form the mineral component of bones, and they exist as charged particles called ions in the blood and inside cells. A hormone called parathyroid hormone (PTH) regulates the amount of calcium and phosphorus in bone and blood. Four small glands called parathyroid glands make PTH. The parathyroid glands are located behind the thyroid gland in the neck. Hypoparathyroidism is the clinical condition caused by a lack of parathyroid hormone. Calcium levels in the blood fall, and phosphorus levels rise. Low blood calcium levels may cause symptoms such as tingling of the lips, fingers and toes, and muscle cramps, or spasms. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is injury to the parathyroid glands during head and neck surgery.

Welcome Hypoparathyroidism UK has been set up as a place of contact and a means of support for people in the UK and Ireland who have, or are affected by, Hypoparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism (HPTH) is a rare condition which occurs where there are inadequate or ineffective levels of parathyroid hormone and may be due either to a congenital disorder or as a direct result of thyroid surgery. Once a diagnosis has been reached which may, in itself, take some considerable time, finding ways to manage this condition can be demanding. Because of the rarity of Hypoparathyroidism and all it's variations, searching for information is also difficult and people may even find themselves having to educate their doctors at the same time! Hopefully this site will help you with that search. At Hypoparathyroidism UK we aim to offer each other much needed support and encouragement, and to exchange information by sharing online our diverse personal experiences and discoveries. Finding others who not only understand the effects of HPTH on your life but are living with similar problems can be a life changing experience. Welcome on board! There is so much for us to learn but in doing so we hope also to raise awareness about HPTH both in the wider public and in the medical world.

25. Hypoparathyroidism And Too Little Parathyroid Hormone. A Complication From Parat hypoparathyroid disease and hypoparathyroidism. Too little parathyroid hormone. Hypoparathyroid, low calcium, rocaltrol, calcitriol, hypopara. http://www.parathyroid.com/hypoparathyroidism.htm

Section 5. Rare Problems of Parathyroid Glands Too Little Parathyroid Hormone is Called Hypo-parathyroid-ism. Hypoparathyroidism is a very rare parathyroid disease that results in too little calcium. Hypoparathyroidism is the combination of symptoms due to inadequate parathyroid hormone production (Hypo-parathyroid-ism). This is a very rare condition, and almost always occurs because of damage or removal of parathyroid glands at the time of parathyroid or thyroid surgery. This bears repeating: When people have too little parathyroid hormone, it is almost always because they had thyroid or parathyroid surgery and all four parathyroid glands were removed or injured. This is a mistake by the surgeon and is NOT supposed to happen. If this is the first parathyroid page you have read from our site, we strongly recommend that you read our introduction to the parathyroid gland first! Remember, hypER-parathyroidism is MUCH more common than hypOparathyroidism.

Feedback Statistics about Hypoparathyroidism About statistics: This page presents a variety of statistics about Hypoparathyroidism. The term 'prevalence' of Hypoparathyroidism usually refers to the estimated population of people who are managing Hypoparathyroidism at any given time. The term 'incidence' of Hypoparathyroidism refers to the annual diagnosis rate, or the number of new cases of Hypoparathyroidism diagnosed each year. Hence, these two statistics types can differ: a short-lived disease like flu can have high annual incidence but low prevalence, but a life-long disease like diabetes has a low annual incidence but high prevalence.

Next Hypoparathyroidism Parathyroid hormones are produced by parathyroid glands located adjacent to the thyroid gland. If the parathyroid glands are surgically removed during thyroid gland surgery, hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia can occur. The treatment of hypoparathyroidism and hypocalcemia is with oral calcium supplements and oral vitamin D. Oral vitamin D increases the gut absorption of calcium in the diet. Along with calcium supplements, vitamin D helps to maintain normal blood calcium levels in patients with hypoparathyroidism.

Main Search Index Definition Description Causes ... Resources Hypoparathyroidism Definition Hypoparathyroidism is the result of a decrease in production of parathyroid hormones by the parathyroid glands located behind the thyroid glands in the neck. The result is a low level of calcium in the blood. Description Parathyroid glands consist of four pea-shaped glands located on the back and side of the thyroid gland. The gland produces parathyroid hormone which, along with vitamin D and calcitonin, are important for the regulation of the calcium level in the body. Hypoparathyroidism affects both males and females of all ages. The accidental removal of the parathyroid glands during neck surgery is the most frequent cause of hypoparathyroidism. Complications of surgery on the parathyroid glands is another common cause of this disorder. There is the possibility of autoimmune genetic disorders causing hypoparathyroidism such as Hashimoto's thyroiditis pernicious anemia , and Addison's disease. The destruction of the gland by radiation is a rare cause of hypoparathyroidism. Occasionally, the parathyroids are absent at birth causing low calcium levels and possible convulsions in the newborn. Symptoms in the advanced and continuous stages of hypoparathyroidism include splitting of the nails, inadequate tooth development and mental retardation in children, and seizures.
