Hypoparathyroidism as one of the initial presentations of systemic lupus erythematosus

Abstract

Abstract Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease and may be associated with many autoimmune conditions. Hypoparathyroidism is a rare disease. The leading cause of hypoparathyroidism is postsurgical hypoparathyroidism. However, hypoparathyroidism as an initial presentation of SLE is still a rare condition. Here, we report a case of SLE presented with hypoparathyroidism and Hashimoto's thyroiditis.
