Additionally, it can lead to dental issues, cataracts, and brittle nails due to impaired calcium metabolism. Long-term hypoparathyroidism can also result in complications such as osteoporosis.

Can hypoparathyroidism cause toxic goiter?
Hypoparathyroidism itself does not directly cause toxic goiter. Toxic goiter, often associated with conditions like Graves' disease, results from an overproduction of thyroid hormones, typically due to autoimmune stimulation of the thyroid gland. However, hypoparathyroidism can occur alongside other thyroid disorders, but it is not a direct causal factor for toxic goiter.
