Hypoparathyroidism

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

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]

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) - A system of medical diagnostic codes, created by the World Health Organization (WHO), to classify diseases and other health related conditions for the purpose of international diagnostic consistency. By having common diagnostic codes around the world, health researchers are better able to quantify and track disease burdens. The most current version is called ICD-11. (Learn more: www.who.int)
