| | Hypoparathyroidism |
 | | Symptoms and findings associated with Hypoparathyroidism may include weakness, muscle cramps, excessive nervousness, headaches, and/or increased excitability (hyperexcitability) of nerves resulting in uncontrollable twitching and cramping spasms of certain muscles such as those of the hands, feet, arms, and/or face (tetany). | | | The purpose of the study is to compare the long-term effects of hPTH and calcitriol therapy on the metabolism of calcium in the body. | | | Affected individuals may also experience increased excitability (hyperexcitability) of nerves resulting in uncontrollable cramping spasms of certain muscles, particularly those of the hands, feet, arms, and/or face (tetany). |

| | Hypoparathyroidism is part of the Barakat or HDR (Hypoparathyroidism, nerve Deafness, and Renal dysplasia) syndrome (MIM # 146255) [34,35]. | | | The phenotype is highly variable and patients may not express all elements of the basic triad, leading to the suggestion that the criteria used for molecular screening be relaxed [57]. | | | The goal of treatment in hypoparathyroid states is to raise the serum calcium sufficiently to alleviate acute symptoms and prevent the complications of chronic hypocalcemia [129]. |

There is also a form a hypoparathyroidism which is known as ‘Pseudo-hypoparathyroidism’ which is extremely rare. | | | This condition runs in families and is due to resistance to PTH hormone action. |
