Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism - what does this mean
Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder that occurs when the newborn's body does not produce enough parathyroid hormone. this hormone is necessary for the body to regulate calcium and phosphorus levels in the blood. without enough of the hormone, calcium levels in the blood decrease, leading to a variety of symptoms, including seizures, muscle spasms, and developmental delays.
What happens during the disease - transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism
Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism is a rare disorder caused by a lack of parathyroid hormone production in the newborn period. it is believed to be caused by a temporary defect in the parathyroid glands, resulting in a decrease in calcium and an increase in phosphorus levels in the blood. this can lead to hypocalcemia, tetany, seizures, and other neurological symptoms. treatment usually involves calcium and vitamin d supplementation, and can be successful in reversing the symptoms of the disorder.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Evaluate the patient's clinical history and physical examination.
- Perform a complete blood count (CBC) to measure calcium and phosphorus levels.
- Order a serum calcium and phosphorus test.
- Order a parathyroid hormone (PTH) assay.
- Order a 25-hydroxyvitamin D test.
- Perform a thyroid function test.
- Order a urine calcium test.
- Perform an ultrasound of the parathyroid glands.
- Perform a genetic test to identify any mutations in the calcium-sensing receptor gene.
- Perform a bone density scan.
- Perform an X-ray of the skull.

Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism - Prevention
Transitory neonatal hypoparathyroidism can be prevented by ensuring that pregnant mothers receive adequate calcium and vitamin d throughout their pregnancy, and that newborns receive adequate calcium and vitamin d supplementation after birth.
