Concurrent treatment with doses of thyroid hormone intended to suppress thyroid stimulating hormone below the assay s detection limit or persistent thyroid cancer 8. History of a skeletal disease unrelated to hypoparathyroidism, such as osteoporosis or low bone density (defined as a DXA Z-Score < -2 in all subjects or T-score < -2 in subjects greater than or equal to 20 year old), osteosarcoma, Paget s disease, alkaline phosphatase > 1.5 times the upper limit of normal, or metastatic bone disease 9. History of retinoblastoma or Li-Fraumeni syndrome 10. History of treatment with bisphosphonates, calcitonin, tamoxifen, selective-estrogen receptor modulators, or directed skeletal irradiation 11. Use of oral or intravenous corticosteroids or estrogen replacement therapy for more than 3 weeks within the last 6 months 12. Use of depot medroxyprogesterone for contraception within the past 12 months 13. Chronic inadequate biochemical control with conventional therapy and/or calcium infusion dependent 14.
