What is the difference between hypoparathyroiditis and hypothyroiditis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Two different glands: Thyroid gland controls metabolism/energy burning rate. parathyroid (a gland INSIDE the thyroid) controls minerals like calcium. Surgery often accidentally gets both, but otherwise they are separate.
