Overview

Hypoparathyroidism is a decrease in serum parathyroid hormone. Normally, parathyroid hormone increases serum calcium and magnesium concentration, and decreases serum phosphate concentration. Secretion of parathyroid hormone from parathyroid gland is stimulated by low serum calcium. Parathyroid glands have calcium-sensing receptors responsible for sensing extracellular ionized calcium. Calcium and magnesium provides a negative feedback for secretion of parathyroid hormone. Deficiency of parathyroid hormone causes body to decrease reabsorption of calcium from bone, excretion of phosphate, reabsorbtion of calcium from distal tubules, and vitamin D mediated absorption of calcium from intestine leading to hypocalcemia. Many genetic conditions are associated with hypoparathyroidism. Hypoparathyroidism associated with genetic defects may be either autoimmune hypoparathyroidism, isolated hypoparathyroidism, associated with congenital multisystem syndromes, or a part of metabolic disorders.

Pathophysiology

Parathyroid, Vitamin D, and Mineral Homeostasis

The effect of parathyroid hormone on mineral metabolism is as follows:[1][2]

Post-surgical Hypoparathyroidism

  • Anterior neck surgery most commonly causes hypoparathyroidism. Majority of time this hypoparathyroidism is transient i.e. it resolves within 6 months.[5][6][7]
  • The features of hypoparathyroidism should persist for atleast 6 month after surgery to be diagnosed as chronic hypoparathyroidism.
  • 30–60% Patients undergoing total thyroidectomy develops hypocalcaemia within 24 hours as an initial manifestation of postoperative parathyroid failure. About 60%-70% of these cases resolve within 4–6 weeks after surgery. Remaining cases progress to develop protracted hypoparathyroidism requiring continuous treatment. Around 15–25% of patients with protracted hypoparathyroidism progress to chronic hypoparathyroidism.[8]
  • Factors favorring recovery from protracted hypoparathyroidism include:
    • Number of parathyroid glands remaining in situ.
    • Serum calcium level at this stage : There is high rate of recovery in individuals whose calcium levels are normal to elevated one month postoperatively.
