Abstract

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.
