Other hypoparathyroidism - what does this mean
Other hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the parathyroid glands, preventing them from producing enough parathyroid hormone. this can lead to a decrease in calcium levels and an increase in phosphorus levels in the body, resulting in a variety of symptoms such as muscle spasms, tingling in the hands and feet, and seizures.
What happens during the disease - other hypoparathyroidism
Other hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder caused by a failure of the parathyroid glands to produce the hormone parathyroid hormone (pth). this condition can be caused by a variety of factors, including congenital defects, surgical removal of the parathyroid glands, autoimmune destruction, radiation therapy, and medications. the lack of pth results in decreased levels of calcium, leading to a variety of symptoms such as muscle cramps, tingling in the hands and feet, and seizures. treatment involves supplementing calcium and vitamin d to correct the underlying deficiency, as well as medications to reduce the symptoms.
