Hypoparathyroidism as one of the initial presentations of systemic lupus erythematosus.

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. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
