Does vitamin D help with hypocalcemia due to hypoparathyroidism?

Hypoparathyroidism (low blood levels of parathyroid hormone) is rare and often due to surgical removal of the parathyroid glands. High oral doses of the vitamin D analogs dihydrotachysterol (DHT), calcitriol, or ergocalciferol can assist in increasing serum calcium concentrations in people with hypoparathyroidism or pseudohypoparathyroidism.
