Video Summary
Wafa Tabatabai discusses managing hypoparathyroidism during pregnancy. The condition, diagnosed by low calcium and PTH levels, is rare and lacks extensive clinical trial data, leading to reliance on expert opinions and small case studies. Management typically involves calcium and active vitamin D supplementation, with careful monitoring of serum calcium, phosphorus, and other factors. Pregnancy-induced changes affect calcium requirements due to altered hormone levels and fetal demands. Regular monitoring is essential to prevent complications like maternal hypocalcemia, which can impact pregnancy and fetal health. Postpartum, calcium and vitamin D needs often decrease due to lactation-related hormonal changes.
