About this trial
This is a prospective three-year natural history study of adults with hypoparathyroidism. The goal is to monitor patients with hypoparathyroidism to define end-organ damage in the context of the disease.
The study objectives are to:
1. Build a prospective cohort of patients to study HPT-associated end-organ damage. 2. Determine end-organ physiologic consequences of HPT. 3. Elucidate determinants of HPT-associated end-organ damage.

Ability to voluntarily provide written, signed and dated informed consent as applicable to participate in the study.
Male or female ≥18 years of age with HPT. All HPT sub-types are eligible, including surgical (HPT-S) and nonsurgical (HPT-NS) HPT: autoimmune, genetic (including but not limited to: DiGeorge syndrome, autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1, hypoparathyroidism sensorineural deafness and renal disease syndrome, Kearns-Sayre syndrome, mitochondrial encephalomyopathy with lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes [MELAS] syndrome, mitochondrial trifunctional protein [MTP] deficiency syndrome, Kenny-Caffey syndrome, Sanjad-Sakati syndrome, autosomal dominant hypocalcemia), infiltrative (granulomatous), mineral deposition (copper, iron), metastatic, radiation and idiopathic HPT.
Diagnosis of HPT established based on historic hypocalcemia in the setting of inappropriately low serum PTH levels on two occasions.
