Abstract The present study aimed to determine the prevalence of hypothyroidism, hypoparathyroidism and the frequency of regular chelation therapy in patients with thalassemia major in Iran. Searching process was performed by two independent  researchers using valid keywords in the national and international database, including: Magiran, Iranmedex, SID, Medlib, Scopus, PubMed, Science ...

Background: Barakat syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disorder characterized by hypoparathyroidism, sensorineural deafness, and renal disease, collectively known as HDR syndrome. This disease is caused by the mutation of GATA3 gene located on chromosome 10p15. GATA3 is involved in the embryonic development of kidneys, inner ears, parathyroid glands, and central nervous systems.Case report: ...

Objective: This study aims to investigate real-life data of patients with hypoparathyroidism.
 Material and Method: retrospective case-control was carried out in a tertiary endocrine center between 1 January 2010 31 December 2019. Patients confirmed diagnosis persistent hypoparathyroidism healthy controls were included. Demographic characteristics the patients, laboratory findings, etiolog...

OBJECTIVE Clinical features associated with microdeletion of chromosome 22q11 (del(22)(q11)) are highly variable. Increased awareness of this condition is needed among specialists such as endocrinologists to reduce diagnostic delay and improve clinical care. The purpose of this study was to describe the phenotype of patients with del(22)(q11), focusing on parathyroid gland dysfunction. DESIGN...

INTRODUCTION Hypoparathyroidism in pregnancy is rare, but important, as it is associated with maternal morbidity and foetal loss. There are limited case reports and no established management guidelines. Optimal maintenance of calcium levels during pregnancy is required to minimise the risk of related complications. This study aims to identify causes and examine outcomes of hypoparathyroidism in...

The risk of permanent hypoparathyroidism following thyroid and parathyroid surgery is around 1% in the hands of experienced endocrine surgeons. Although this complication is rare, rendering a patient permanently aparathyroid has significant consequences on the health and quality of life of the patient. Immediate autotransplantation of parathyroid glands that are injured or unintentionally remov...

F ray, M ay 5, 2017 PURPOSE: Acquired hypoparathyroidism is most commonly caused by surgical removal or iatrogenic injury. Permanent hypoparathyroidism occurs in up to 5% of patients undergoing total thyroidectomy or neck dissection, which can result in profound hypocalcemia. If injury is noted intraoperatively the parathyroid gland can be minced and implanted subcutaneously to recover function...

introduction: hypoparathyroidism (hpt) is an irreversible but preventable disorder caused by an iron overload which can be considered a typical complication in patients with beta-thalassemia major. patients and method: parathyroid function was evaluated in 130 patients in qom, iran, who suffered from beta-thalassemia major. their serum ferritin levels were checked for monitoring of chelation th...
