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.
- Destruction of secretory cells by a disease process.
- Gland hypofunction occurs due to:
