A patient with a history of hypoparathyroidism is most likely at risk of hypocalcemia. Normally, the parathyroid glands work to regulate calcium in the body, but these levels may drop if the parathyroid glands are not working properly. The patient may also have increased phosphorus levels in the body as well.
