Hypoparathyroidism is a rare condition in which the parathyroid glands fail to produce sufficient amount of parathyroid hormone or the parathyroid hormone produced lacks biologic activity. The most common cause of hypoparathyroidism is damage to or removal of the parathyroid glands due to neck surgery for another condition. Occurrence of hypercalciuria under treatment is a frequent concern in primary hypoparathyroidism, limiting correction of hypocalcemia.
