Pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) is an extremely rare group of disorders. It is a spectrum of disorders caused by end organ resistance to parathyroid hormone (PTH) and is represented by impaired signalling that activates cAMP dependent pathways via alpha subunit of G-protein (GS). It is characterised by hypocalcemia, hyperphosphatemia, raised PTH levels due to insensitivity to biological activity of PTH, and normal renal function tests. We describe a case of 10-year girl who presented with fear of falling down from heights. Her laboratory evaluation and skeletal survey showed evidence of PHP along with features of Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy (AHO) pointing towards the diagnosis of PHP type 1a.

The sodium phosphate cotransporter-2A (NPT2A) mediates basal and parathyroid hormone (PTH)- and fibroblast growth factor-23 (FGF23)-regulated phosphate transport in proximal tubule cells of the kidney. Both basal and hormone-sensitive transport require sodium hydrogen exchanger regulatory factor-1 (NHERF1), a scaffold protein with tandem PDZ domains, PDZ1 and PDZ2. NPT2A binds to PDZ1.

Introduction: In chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients, elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH) is linked to cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. Levels of PTH are influenced by serum phosphate (P) and calcium (Ca), but little is known about the impact of magnesium (Mg) on PTH. Hence, this study investigated the relationship between PTH and Mg in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and non-dialysis patients from three hospitals in China.

Objective: Cognitive impairment is a recurrent complication in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD), which includes those undergoing hemodialysis (HD). Researchers aimed to analyze vitamin D levels, beta-amyloid 42, indoxyl sulfate, and serum parathyroid hormone (PTH) in patients with cognitive impairment who underwent HD.
Design: This comparative, cross-sectional study was conducted at the HD unit of Dr.

Objective: Abaloparatide (ABL) is a synthetic parathyroid hormone-related protein analog developed as an anabolic drug to treat osteoporosis. ABL increases bone mineral density (BMD) of the long bones and spine; however, the influence of ABL on alveolar bone regeneration remains unknown. This study assessed the effects of systemic ABL administration on tooth extraction socket healing and dental implant osseointegration in a preclinical rodent model.
