Chopra Tanya , Haddad Aiman , Hyams Elizabeth , Joshi Shivani , Mitchell Catherine , Rahman Mushtaqur

Introduction: Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a rare cause of hypocalcaemia due to parathyroid hormone (PTH) resistance in the proximal renal tubules. In contrast to PHP type 1A, PHP type 1B is characterised by the absence of the characteristic skeletal abnormalities and is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner, but in the maternal line. Patients may have resistance to the action of other G-protein signaling hormones, like thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH).<p class...

Pavaiova Anna , Pavai Dušan , Vanuga Peter

Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is a group of rare hereditary diseases caused by tissue resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH), there are two main types I and II. Type I is divided into subtypes. The authors present a case of PHP Ib, with hypocalcemia (level of total calcium 1.41 mmol/l), accidentally detected at childbirth. After the unsuccessful treatment of hypocalcemia, the etiology was considered, but the confirmation of the diagnosis were not adequately tightened. Due to...

Introduction: Primary hyperparathyroidism is the most common endocrinopathy after diabetes and thyroid diseases. Most often, the diagnosis is made at the asymptomatic stage due to the frequent phosphocalcic assessment objectifying hypercalcemia. Much more rarely, primary hyperparathyroidism is diagnosed at the stage of digestive, renal or bone complications. We report the case of a young patient with a femoral fracture that revealed primary hyperparathyroidism.<p class="ab...
