What is HypoPARAthyroidism?
HypoPARAthyroidism is a rare endocrine disorder that is characterized by low calcium levels and low or absent parathyroid hormone (PTH). This condition may result from neck surgery. It can also be inherited and/or be associated with other disorders.
Our Mission
We are a non-profit patient association working to improve the lives of people impacted by hypoPARAthyroidism through education, support, research, and advocacy. We are here to raise awareness of hypoPARAthyroidism and to bring change to the lives of those affected. With your help we can make a difference.
Patient Stories
One of the most exciting things in my most recent research is finding your organization. Literally seeing a bunch of people on video who had hypoPARA. Coming from a place where I thought I was the only one, this was heartwarming and inspirational to me.
