==[[Hypoparathyroidism]]==

−

* Hypoparathyroidism may result from primary gland hypofunction.

−

** Gland hypofunction occurs due to:

−

**# Destruction of secretory cells by a disease process.

−

**#* For example, this may be immune mediated, or another inflammatory cause.

−

**# A biochemical defect in synthetic pathway of the hormone.

−

**#* These are usually genetic aberrations.

−

**#* Defects in synthesis are not commonly identified in the veterinary species.
