Normocalcaemic Hypoparathyroidism

Objective There are no consistent data on the prevalence and bone status of normocalcaemic hypoparathyroidism (NHYPO) as defined by normal adjusted calcium and low PTH level.

The second objective was to evaluate the prevalence of other calcium metabolic disorders. D...
