Conclusion
Hypoparathyroidism can be considered part of the endocrine disorders
described in SLE. However, more research should be conducted to
determine hypoparathyroidism incidence in SLE patients. This study
reported a young woman who presented the sign and symptoms of
hypoparathyroidism simultaneously with the patient’s initial SLE
diagnosis. Despite the low incidence, hypoparathyroidism has important
complications and symptoms, including Prolonged QT interval, which may
lead to sudden death; severe hypocalcemia may lead to heart failure;
long-term hyperphosphatemia may cause calcification and ossification of
several vital tissues. This study reminds us of the importance of
considering and paying attention to the symptoms of hypocalcemia before
and during the diagnosis of SLE.
