Pseudohypoparathyroidism is a condition that mimics hypoparathyroidism, but is due to a resistance to parathyroid hormone, rather than a lack of the hormone (akin to the distinction between Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes.)

The term Pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism is used to describe conditions that mimic the symptoms of Pseudohypoparathyroidism.

Symptoms

• hypocalcemia
• hyperphosphatemia
• elevated parathyroid hormone (hyperparathyroidism)

Types

• - Type 1A (closely associated with Albright's hereditary osteodystrophy)
• - Type 1B
• - Type 2
