Hypoparathyoidism is classified into two categories: PTH deficient and PTH refractory (i.e. pseudohypoparathyrodism [PHP]). Bone metabolism is different between the two. In PTH deficient hypoparathyroidism such as post-operative hypoparathyroidism, BMD is increased with relatively low bone turnover markers. In PHP, which characterized by PTH resistance in proximal renal tubules, bone response to PTH is sometimes...
