Hypoparathyroidism, pregnancyAbstract
There is no established therapeutic regimen for treatment of hypoparathyroidism during pregnancy. This is particularly due to uncertainty about the use of vitamin D or its analogues, as in animal experiments teratogenic side-effects have been reported. Nevertheless, vitamin D or its analogues are required to control tetany predisposing to abortion and preterm labour. I herein report the pregnancy in a hypoparathyroid woman treated with calcitriol. A 20 years old hypoparathyroid woman receiving chronic treatment with calcitriol(0.5μgm/day) and calcium (1gm/day) was admitted in BSMMU with primi 41 weeks of pregnancy with chronic hypoparathyroidism. She had an cesarean section and delivered a healthy female baby of 3.4kg. Both the mother and baby were healthy.Key words: Hypoparathyroidism; pregnancy.
