| − | * 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.
