Symptoma

Secondary Hypoparathyroidism

Usually, it presents with hypocalcemia. Even if there is no established therapeutic treatment, vitamin D or its analogues are required. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We present two such rare cases, one with PHPT presenting with choreoathetotic movements and the second with SHPT in ESRD presenting with a seizure disorder. [thejhs.org]

Presentation of a rare cause of hypocalcemia in childhood and the necessity of measuring serum electrolyte levels in patients presenting with afebrile seizures. a 7.5-year-old female child presented with afebrile seizures lasting 5 min with postictal [ruralneuropractice.com]

This presentation alone is enough to stratify the patient as a high risk for sudden cardiac death and to consider implantation of an automated internal defibrillator. [innovationsincrm.com]

Our case is the fourth case of impetigo herpetiformis initially presented during puerperium and the first case of puerperal impetigo herpetiformis that is precipitated by secondary hypoparathyroidism. [casesjournal.biomedcentral.com]

  • Stridor

    However, acute hypocalcemia usually results in severe symptoms including laryngospasm, stridor, airway obstruction, neuromuscular irritability, cognitive impairment, prolonged QT interval, and cardiac arrhythmias. [ruralneuropractice.com]

    Hypoparathyroidism has wide variety of presentations: from the asymptomatic patient with dramatically low serum calcium to the acutely symptomatic patient with neuromuscular irritability, tetany, painful muscle cramps, stridor, and even seizures with [bestpractice.bmj.com]

    Stridor. Convulsions (usually grand mal). Syncope. Emotional lability, anxiety and depression, confusion. Memory impairment. Lethargy. Headaches. Brittle nails. Dry hair and skin. Painful menstruation. [patient.info]

    No cogwheel rigidity. On investigation, her haemoglobin was 13.4 g/L and white blood cell count was 8800 10 9 and platelets 321 10 9. Her renal function, liver function, thyroid function, serum bicarbonate and anionic gap were normal. [thejhs.org]

RESULTS: (1) In the treatment group, the levels of serum corrected calcium, phosphorus and calcium-phosphate product began to decline after 1 month and exhibited further decrease 3 months later. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Support Groups: Expectations (prognosis): The outcome for secondary hyperparathyroidism depends on the underlying cause. When treated, rickets generally has a good prognosis. Other causes of secondary hyperparathyroidism have variable outcomes. [uclahealth.org]

Prognosis The regular monitoring required to ensure appropriate calcium levels means that the prognosis is challenging for many people. This may improve if synthetic PTH becomes widely available. [patient.info]

Prognosis Hypoparathyroidism can be a temporary condition that stops when its cause is treated, or a permanent condition. [healthand.com]

Prognosis Medical therapy is effective in most patients. Some patients may require parathyroidectomy. [boneandspine.com]

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disease in childhood, characterized by inadequate PTH, resulting in hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. [3] Management of hypoparathyroidism is complex, depending on underlying etiology and is individualized, depending on [ruralneuropractice.com]

Thus, idiopathic hypoparathyroidism and resulting hypoparathyroid cataract are relatively rare, where the underlying etiologies and pathogenesis remain to be clarified. [omicsonline.org]
