Background: Non-surgical hypoparathyroidism (NS-HypoPT) and pseudohypoparathyroidism (Ps-HypoPT) are both rare diseases, with a prevalence of 2/100.000 and 1/100.000, respectively.Studies on Quality of Life, QoL, are sparse, but studies have shown an increased risk of fatigue and depression.Methods: Using the Danish version of SF36v2 and WHO-5 Well Being Index, we investigated the physical and mental QoL among patients with NS-Hypo...

Background: Hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT) is a rare disease, characterized by low plasma levels of Parathyroid hormone and calcium. Furthermore it is characterized by high BMD and very low bone turnover.Aim: We studied risk of fracture in patients with postsurgical HypoPT due to non-malignant diseases compared with an age- and gender-matched control group.Method: We performed a controlled cohort study. Patients diagnosed with HypoPT ...

Total thyroidectomy causes postsurgical hypothyroidism (HypoT). Besides HypoT, patients may also develop hypoparathyroidism (HypoPT).The aim of the study was to assess Quality of Life (QoL), muscle function, and bone indices in patients with postsurgical hypothyroidism and hypoparathyroidism (HypoT+PT) as compared to patients with postsurgical HypoT and healthy controls.Age and gender matched patients on treatment for HypoT+PT and ...
