ABSTRACT

Hypoparathyroidism is a rare endocrine disease with abnormal calcium and phosphorus metabolism. It is mainly characterized by hypocalcemia,hyperphosphatemia,and with or without decreasing of the parathyroid hormone (PTH). The current standard treatment for hypoparathyroidism includes calcium and vitamin D. Calcium and vitamin D can correct hypocalcemia, but it is not easy to maintain the balance of calcium and phosphorus. PTH hormone replacement therapy has made adequate progress and may become a treatment option for patients with hypoparathyroidism. This review is trying to introduce the progress in PTH hormone replacement therapy.
