Overview
Patients with type Ia pseudohypoparathyroidism have an increased rate of other endocrine abnormalities (such as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism). Complications of hypocalcemia associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism may include seizures and other endocrine problems, leading to decreased sexual drive and delayed sexual development, fatigue, and increased weight.
Natural History
Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b patients at an increased risk of developing hyperparathyroidism and hyperparathyroid bone disease as a result of long term elevation in parathyroid hormone.
Complications
Complications that can develop as a result of pseudohypoparathyroidism are
- Seizures (children).
- Hypothyroidism due to associated resistance to thyrotropin.
- Gonadotropin or GHRH resistance.
- Patients may develop hypocalcemia resulting in[1]
- Paresthesias
- Muscular cramping
- Tetany
- Carpopedal spasm
- Patients with type Ia pseudohypoparathyroidism have an increased rate of other endocrine abnormalities (such as hypothyroidism and hypogonadism).
- Complications of hypocalcemia associated with pseudohypoparathyroidism may include seizures and other endocrine problems, leading to lowered sexual drive and lowered sexual development, lowered energy levels, and increased weight.
- Subcutaneous calcification in neonatal period.[2]
- Reproductive dysfunction is seen in patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism 1a. Women may experience delayed puberty, oligomenorrhea, and infertility.In men decreased fertility may present with maturation arrest of testes and cryptorchidism.
- Pseudohypoparathyroidism type 1b patients are at risk of developing tertiary hyperparathyroidism and hyperparathyroid bone disease. [3]
- Osteopenia and rickets in peudohypoparathyroidism-1a is associated with variable osteoclast responsiveness to parathyroid hormone.[4]
Prognosis
Insufficient data is available to determine the long term outcomes of pseudohypoparathyroidism. In some patients calcium homeostasis adapts to parathyroid hormone resistance resulting in resolution of hypocalcemia while others who do not adapt to parathyroid hormone resistance are managed with lifelong calcium supplementation. Long term levothyroxine is used in patients with associated hypothyroidism.
