Hypoparathyroidism, a condition in which insufficient parathyroid
hormone (PTH) is produced to maintain normocalcemia is associated
with a variety of acute and chronic symptoms and complications due
to hypocalcemia. Replacement therapy utilizing PTH has long been
awaited, and this book is new and very timely as it coincides with
the publication of results on the role of the PTH molecule in the
pharmacological management of this disorder. This advance is
sparking renewed interest in hypoparathyroidism, which is
attributable to neck surgery in most cases and to inherited
disorders in a minority. Hypoparathyroidism has been written by
acknowledged experts in the field and provides essential,
up-to-date information on the pathology, diagnosis, and treatment
of the condition. It opens by addressing in detail the anatomy and
physiology of the parathyroids and describing the epidemiology and
clinical presentation of hypoparathyroidism. The full range of
hypoparathyroid disorders are then discussed, including the various
genetic forms, postoperative hypoparathyroidism, and other forms of
acquired hypoparathyroidism. Individual chapters focus on
refractory disease, the impact of the condition on bone, and the
management of acute hypocalcemia. Both conventional treatment for
hypoparathyroidism and the novel replacement therapy with PTH
peptides are then thoroughly examined. Pseudohypoparathyroidism is
also extensively discussed, with information on the various forms,
differential diagnosis, and genetic testing. This book will be of
interest to all endocrinologists, and also to surgeons and internal
medicine physicians.
