The present study devotes to diagnose idiopathic-hypoparathyroidism (IHP) by means of ratio of calcium and phosphorus and product of calcium and magnesium. Among 23 cases of IHP patients the coincidence of ratio (Ca/P) and low-calcium/high-phosphorus in blood was 95.7%. Among 17 cases of IHP patients the coincidence of product (Ca x Mg) low-calcium and low magnesium was 91.4%. It indicates that ratio (Ca/P) and product (Ca x Mg) are effective mathematical diagnosis of IHP.
