Hypoparathyroidism What is hypoparathyroidism? Hypoparathyroidism is caused by underactive parathyroid glands. Underactive parathyroid glands produce too little parathyroid hormones, which in turn causes low levels of calcium in the blood stream. The low levels of calcium lead to tetany, an increased excitability of the nerves. Causes of parathyroidism include accidental removal of a parathyroid gland when the thyroid is removed, or when part of the parathyroid tissue is removed. Other causes include absent parathyroid glands from birth or the sudden stop of functioning due to unknown reasons. What are symptoms of hypoparathyroidism? The following are the most common symptoms of hypoparathyroidism. However, each individual may experience symptoms differently. Symptoms may include: uncontrollable, painful spasms of the face, hands, arms, and feet seizures The symptoms of hypoparathyroidism may resemble other conditions or medical problems. Always consult your physician for a diagnosis. How is hypoparathyroidism diagnosed?

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.

Medical Dictionary Naturapathic Glossary Aphrodisiacs Immune System ... Table of content Hypoparathyroidism Causes and Risks: The parathyroid glands are located at the front and base of the neck around the thyroid gland. The glands produce parathyroid hormone , which regulates calcium, phosphorus, and magnesium balance within the blood and normal bone mineralization. Without sufficient amounts of parathyroid hormone, the calcium level in the blood falls and produces symptoms and problems. Hypoparathyroidism may be caused by a genetic disorder; congenital absence of the parathyroid glands; accidental removal or injury of the parathyroid glands during surgery to remove the thyroid gland or other neck surgery; massive radiation to the thyroid gland; or magnesium deficiency. Risk factors are recent thyroid or neck surgery, family history of parathyroid disorder, or history of certain autoimmune endocrine diseases such as Addison's disease . The incidence is 4 out of 100,000 people. Prevention: Close observation after thyroid or neck surgery may alert to early signs of hypoparathyroidism so that treatment can be initiated.

It is characterized by hypocalcaemia and its neuromuscular symptoms and signs.

An idiopathic hypoparathyroidism in which the parathyroid glands are absent or atrophied can also occur. End-organ unresponsiveness to parathyroid hormone is seen in pseudohypoparathyroidism and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism . Rare forms of hypoparathyroidism caused by irradiation to the gland and as a response of an infant to hyperparathyroidism in the mother may also occur. General radiographic abnormalities of hypoparathyroidism include osteoporosis, calvarial thickening, hypoplastic dentition, subcutaneous calcification, basal ganglion calcification, premature fusion of physes and spinal ossification.

The condition is commoner than hypersecretion of parathormone but less common than pseudohypoparathyroidism . Presentation may be in the neonatal period and the condition may be transient, permanent or part of the Di George syndrome (see absent thymus ). Postnatal onset may be idiopathic or secondary to neck surgery, irradiation, haemosiderosis or hypomagnesaemia. A familial form may be associated with autoimmune disease affecting other endocrine glands (especially Addisons disease ) and mucocutaneous candidiasis. The clinical signs and symptoms of hypoparathyroidism are due to hypocalcaemia. Manifestations depend on age, severity and speed of onset and relate to the neuromuscular system (tetany), brain (convulsions, basal ganglia calcification, mental retardation), heart (prolonged Q-T interval), eyes (cataract) and skin (dry, coarse, hair).

My doctor recommends thyroid surgery for my nodule What is hypoparathyroidism? Hypoparathyroidism is a condition that develops when the parathyroid glands are unable to produce enough of a specific hormone that is needed to maintain the balance of calcium in the body. The parathyroid glands are four tiny pea-shaped glands located in the neck. Two of these glands are situated on each side of the neck, lying just underneath each lobe of the thyroid gland. In the normal state, the parathyroid glands produce a hormone called parathyroid hormone, or PTH for short. This PTH helps to regulate the balance of calcium in the body by acting on the bones and kidneys to maintain the calcium in the bloodstream at a fairly consistent level. During thyroid surgery, extreme care must be taken by the surgeon to avoid accidentally removing or damaging the parathyroid glands. This can be difficult, as they are very small and share a common blood supply with areas of the thyroid gland that may need to be removed.
