Hypoparathyroidism is an uncommon endocrine abnormality in which parathyroid gland dysfunction causes parathyroid hormone deficiency. Subsequently, this absence or decreased level of parathyroid hormone results in hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, and increased neuromuscular irritability. Hypoparathyroidism is typically diagnosed with laboratory studies. Hypoparathyroidism treatment primarily consists of correcting calcium, vitamin D, and magnesium deficiencies with supplementation. Within the last several years, recombinant human parathyroid hormone became available and is currently used as replacement therapy in patients unresponsive to supplementation. The most common complications of hypoparathyroidism are chronic kidney disease and kidney stones. Other complications include cataracts, cognitive dysfunction, cardiac arrhythmias, anxiety, and depression. This activity for healthcare professionals is designed to enhance the learner’s competence when managing hypoparathyroidism, equipping them with updated knowledge, skills, and strategies for timely diagnosis, effective interventions, and improved care coordination, leading to better patient outcomes.
