• Resumen

  • Physiologic changes during pregnancy include calcium, phosphate, and calciotropic hormone status. Calcium metabolic disorders are rare in pregnancy and management with close calcium and vitamin D control and supplementation. Primary hyperparathyroidism is mostly asymptomatic and does not affect conception or pregnancy. It requires control of plasma calcium levels. Surgical intervention may be indicated. Data on severe cases are missing. Osteoporosis in or before pregnancy is rare but usually diagnosed from fractures. Medical treatment other than supplementation is contraindicated. Vitamin D deficiency is common and may affect conception and increase complications. Current evidence does not prove vitamin D supplements effective in improving outcomes.
