Question

Insufficient levels of parathyroid hormone and low amount of calcium in the blood causes which of the following conditions?

A.

Malaria

B.

Anaemia

C.

Diabetes

D.

Hypocalcemia

Correct option is D

The correct answer is (d) Hypocalcemia.
 Hypocalcemia is a medical condition characterized by abnormally low levels of calcium in the bloodstream.
 Calcium is an essential mineral that plays a crucial role in various physiological processes, including muscle contraction, nerve function, blood clotting, and bone health.
 Parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is produced by the parathyroid glands, regulates calcium levels in the blood by stimulating calcium release from bones, increasing calcium absorption in the intestines, and reducing calcium excretion by the kidneys.
 Symptoms of hypocalcemia may include muscle cramps, numbness or tingling sensations, seizures, abnormal heart rhythms, and brittle bones (osteoporosis).
Facts to remember:
Malaria is a mosquito-borne infectious disease caused by parasites of the Plasmodium genus.
Anaemia refers to a condition characterized by a deficiency of red blood cells or hemoglobin in the blood, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath.
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by high blood sugar levels resulting from inadequate insulin production, insulin resistance, or both.
