MARTIN-ALONSO, Montserrat  and  BAJO-DELGADO, Ana Fe. Hypoparathyroidism in the child. Rev. ORL [online]. 2022, vol.13, n.3, pp.247-250.  Epub Nov 21, 2022. ISSN 2444-7986.  https://dx.doi.org/10.14201/orl.27470.

Hipoparathyroidism occurs when parathyroid hormone (PTH) is insufficient because of destruction of the parathyroid glands, abnormal parathyroid gland development or altered regulation of PTH production through calcium-sensing receptor (CaSR). Etiology and clinical features depend on the age of the patient. The goals of therapy are to maintain the serum calcium concentration in the low-normal range to prevent iatrogenic development of kidney stones. In this review, we will pay attention to the peculiriaties in the pediatric age.

Keywords : hypoparathyroidism; hypocalcemia; pediatrics; vitamin D; calcium.
