A member asked:
Why does a lack of parathyroid hormones cause hypocalcemia?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Parathyroid/calcium: Because the parathyroid hormones are needed to keep the calcium control in the skeleton under control. Please go online to "www.clevelandclinic meded.com" and look for hypoparathyroid and hypocalcemia. It is a bit tough to understand at first but the information will get through to you I'm sure. There other similar articles on the web that you can look at.
