Alternative definition : CTCAE: A disorder characterized by a decrease in production of parathyroid hormone
by the parathyroid glands.; NICHD: Decreased production or secretion of parathyroid hormone by the parathyroid
gland, resulting in hypocalcemia due to decreased release of calcium and phosphate

of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D-3, which decreases intestinal absorption of calcium. Hypoparathyroidism
is also associated with hyperphosphatemia as a result of hypophosphaturia.;
