PseudohypoPARAthyroidism is characterized by an inability of some portions of the kidney to respond to
parathyroid hormone (PTH), which is termed resistance to PTH. This condition is associated with low serum levels

rather than low. There are several different types of pseudohypoPARAthyroidism, types 1A and 1B, type 1B, and
type 2.
