Question

How is tetany caused?
Rapid muscle spasms occur in the muscle due to deficiency of parathyroid hormone resulting in reduced calcium levels in the body

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

Tetany can be the result of an electrolyte imbalance. Most often, it's a dramatically low calcium level, also known as hypocalcemia. Tetany can also be caused by magnesium deficiency or too little potassium. Having too much acid (acidosis) or too much alkali (alkalosis) in the body can also result in tetany.
