  • Title: Heterogeneity of pseudohypoparathyroidism type I from the aspect of urinary excretion of calcium and serum levels of parathyroid hormone.

    Journal: Calcif Tissue Int; 1990 Apr; 46(4):227-32. PubMed ID: 2108792.
    Abstract:
    Urinary excretion of calcium (Ca) was measured in 9 patients with pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) type I--3 with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO): AHO(+) and 6 without AHO: AHO(-)--and in 13 with idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (IHP), treated with active vitamin D3 (1,25(OH)2D3 or 1 alpha OHD3) to maintain serum Ca levels at 8.4-9.5 mg/dl. Fasting urinary excretion of Ca in PHP was significantly lower than that in IHP. Moreover, fasting urinary excretion of Ca in PHP AHO(+) was lower than that in PHP AHO(-). This difference was also seen in the urine after oral loading of Ca. Urinary excretion of sodium (Na) was not different between PHP AHO(+) and PHP AHO(-). Serum levels of immunoreactive PTH in PHP AHO(+) were higher than those in PHP AHO(-). The difference in urinary excretion of Ca between PHP AHO(+) and PHP AHO(-) may come from the difference in the circulating levels of PTH.
