Overview
Laboratory Findings
- Hypocalcemia
- Hyperphosphatemia
- Elevated parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism)
- Blood tests: Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism may indicate signs, such as low levels of blood-calcium, blood-magnesium and a high level of blood-phosphorus. The level of parathyroid hormone may ususally be normal.
- Urine calcium test: Patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism may show much higher levels of urine calcium than normal.
- Genetic testing: Genetic testing can find abnormal genes and allow the genetic diagnosis to inherit diseases like pseudohypoparathyroidism.
