Hypoparathyroidism or hypoPT is a relatively rare metabolic bone disease in which the body produces very low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH).[1][2] PTH is needed to balance the levels of calcium and phosphorus. Hypoparathyroidism results in a combination of very low levels of calcium in the blood, known as hypocalcemia, and very low or undetectable levels of parathyroid hormone.[3]
Hypoparathyroidism is sometimes caused by autoimmune illness, and one form of hypoparathyroidism is an autoimmune disease.[1][4]
Hyperparathyroidism is the opposite of hypoparathyroidism, and occurs when the body products abnormally high levels of parathyroid hormone.[5]
