[CME/Answers: Hypocalcemia and Hypoparathyroidism].

CME/Answers: Hypocalcemia and Hypoparathyroidism Dyselectrolytemias are common, but not immediately clearly assignable. In addition to hyponatremia, hypercalcemia plays an important role in clinical practice. Clinically no less relevant are hypocalcemias and a frequently underlying primary hypoparathyroidism, which in most cases is iatrogenic - caused by thyroid surgery. The therapeutic goal includes not only adequate calcium control but also the detection and treatment of secondary complications in cases of chronic hypoparathyroidism.
