Hypoparathyroidism
What is hypoparathyroidism?
Hypoparathyroidism is caused by underactive parathyroid glands. Underactive parathyroid glands do not produce enough parathyroid hormones. This causes low levels of calcium in the bloodstream.
Hypoparathyroidism: Underfunction of the parathyroid glands with deficient production of the hormone parathormone which leads to low blood calcium (hypocalcemia). The parathyroid glands are located adjacent to the thyroid gland.

Can hypoparathyroidism be prevented?
During thyroid or neck surgery, care must be taken by the surgeon to identify and locate the parathyroid glands and to avoid damage to them if possible.
Hypoparathyroidism is is an endocrine disorder in which the parathyroid glands in the neck do not produce enough parathyroid hormone (PTH).

In hypoparathyroidism, the parathyroid gland does not produce enough parathyroid hormone. Causes of hypoparathyroidism include injury to the parathyroid glands, autoimmune disorder association, or may be present ab birth.

Hypoparathyroidism: Hypoparathyroidism is a condition associated with low levels of a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands. Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium levels in the body.
In hypoparathyroidism there is not enough PTH secreted. This causes very low levels of calcium in the blood. Low blood calcium is known as hypocalcemia.
Causes
Several factors are known to cause hypoparathyroidism, including: ...
Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a genetic disorder that resembles hypoparathyroidism (lowered levels of parathyroid hormone), but is caused by a lack of response to parathyroid hormone rather than having too little of the hormone itself.

DiGeorge syndrome can be associated with parathyroid glands that are smaller than normal, which usually causes lower than normal secretion of PTH (hypoparathyroidism).
Hypocalcemia can be caused by hypoparathyroidism, by failure to produce 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, by low levels of plasma magnesium, or by failure to get adequate amounts of calcium or vitamin D in the diet.
Hypoparathyroidism - lifelong vitamin D and calcium carbonate supplements, and a high calcium, low phosphorus diet. An acute attack of hypoparathyroidism must be treated in hospital with intravenous calcium.
Many affected children also develop hypoparathyroidism, which is a malfunction of the parathyroid glands. These glands secrete a hormone that regulates the body's use of calcium and phosphorus.
