Hypoparathyroidism and pregnancy. Treatment with calcitriol.

Abstract
Calcitriol was used successfully to treat a patient with hypoparathyroidism during pregnancy. Increasing dosage of calcitriol were needed during the last trimester with a prompt decrease in the requirement after delivery. The dosage changes appear to mirror the pattern of endogenous synthesis of calcitriol in normal pregnant women.
