Diagnosis of Hypoparathyroidism
Blood tests to measureparathyroid hormone(PTH) and calcium levels People with hypoparathyroidism have Hypocalcemia (Low Level of Calcium in the Blood) (low level of calcium in the blood) and Low or even low-normal PTH levels are inappropriate and suggest hypoparathyroidism. Undetectable PTH levels suggest idiopathic hypoparathyroidism. High PTH levels suggest pseudohypoparathyroidism or an abnormality ofvitamin Dmetabolism.
