RESUMO

ABSTRACT Hypoparathyroidism, despite the conventional therapy with calcium and active vitamin D, can lead to skeletal and nonskeletal abnormalities. Chronic hypoparathyroidism is associated with a significant reduction in bone remodeling, increases in areal and volumetric bone density, and improvement in trabecular microarchitecture and in trabecular bone score. Regardless of these advantages in bone mass and microarchitecture, recent data suggest an increased vertebral fracture risk in patients with nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism. Moreover, chronic hypoparathyroidism can lead to abnormalities in multiple organ systems, including the neurological, cardiovascular, renal, neuropsychiatric, ocular, and immune systems. Nephrocalcinosis, nephrolithiasis, and renal insufficiency, as well as decreased quality of life and cataracts, are common in patients with hypoparathyroidism. An increased incidence of hospitalization due to infections and a greater risk of cardiovascular diseases are observed in patients with hypoparathyroidism, particularly in those with nonsurgical disease. All these abnormalities may be because of the disease itself or complications of therapy. We herein reviewed the skeletal and nonskeletal consequences of hypoparathyroidism in patients conventionally managed with calcium and active vitamin D.
