This review is timely given the 2018 publication of the first international Consensus Statement for the diagnosis and management of pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) and related disorders. The purpose of this review is to provide the knowledge needed to recognize and manage PHP1A, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism (PPHP) and PHP1B - the most common of the subtypes - with an overview of the entire spectrum and to provide a concise summary of management for clinical use. This review will draw from recent literature as well as personal experience in evaluating hundreds of children and adults with PHP.
