  • Title: [Pseudohypoparathyroidism and adrenal cortex insufficiency. A case of multiple endocrinopathy due to peripheral hormone resistance].
    Author: Ridderskamp P, Schlaghecke R.
    Journal: Klin Wochenschr; 1990 Sep 14; 68(18):927-31. PubMed ID: 2259188.
    Abstract:
    Since his childhood a now 31-year-old male showed typical symptoms of parathyroid hormone deficiency with hypocalcemia and hyperphosphatemia. We found a target organ resistance to parathyroid hormone and diagnosed pseudohypoparathyroidism. In addition adrenal insufficiency with hypocortisolism was seen. Both hormone systems act by stimulating adenylate cyclase. A defective receptor-adenylate cyclase complex may cause this--for the first time described--combination of endocrine insufficiency.
