Signs
- Tetany, carpopedal spasm are seen.

- Trousseau sign of latent tetany (eliciting carpal spasm by inflating the blood pressure cuff and maintaining the cuff pressure above systolic)
- Chvostek's sign (tapping of the inferior portion of the zygoma will produce facial spasms)
- Tendon reflexes are hyperactive
- Life threatening complications
