Overview
Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia have an increased rate of other endocrine abnormalities (such as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism). Complications of hypocalcemia associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism may include seizures and other endocrine problems, leading to decreased sexual drive and delayed sexual development, fatigue, and increased weight.
Natural History
- If left untreated, patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type1a, type 1c and pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism present by the second decade of life with characteristic physical features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy like:
- Subcutaneous ossifications
- Shortening of third, fourth, and fifth metacarpals and metatarsals
- Round face
- Obesity
- Frontal bossing
- Dental hypoplasia
- If left untreated, pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b patients at an increased risk of developing hyperparathyroidism and hyperparathyroid bone disease as a result of long-term elevation in parathyroid hormone.
Complications
Complications that can develop as a result of pseudohypoparathyroidism are:[1][2][3][4]
- Seizures (children)
- Hypothyroidism due to associated resistance to thyrotropin
- Gonadotropin
- Growth hormone releasing hormone(GHRH) resistance
- Patients may develop hypocalcemia resulting in:
- Paresthesias
- Muscular cramping
- Tetany
- Carpopedal spasm
- Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism type Ia have an increased rate of other endocrine abnormalities (such as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism)
- Complications of hypocalcemia associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism may include:
- Seizures
- Lowered sexual drive
- Delayed sexual development
- Lowered energy levels
- Increased weight
- Subcutaneous calcification in neonates
- Reproductive dysfunction is seen in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism 1a
- Women may experience:
- Delayed puberty
- Oligomenorrhea
- Infertility
- In men decreased fertility may present with:
- Maturation arrest of testes
- Cryptorchidism
- Women may experience:
- Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b patients are at risk of developing tertiary hyperparathyroidism and hyperparathyroid bone disease.
- Osteopenia and rickets in peudohypoparathyroidism type 1a are associated with variable osteoclast responsiveness to parathyroid hormone.
Prognosis
- In few cases of pseudohypoparathyroidism, calcium homeostasis adapts to parathyroid hormone resistance resulting in resolution of hypocalcemia.
- Patients who do not adapt to parathyroid hormone resistance are managed with lifelong calcium supplementation.
- Long term levothyroxine is used in patients with associated hypothyroidism.
