Optimizing Outcomes in Hypoparathyroidism: A New Era in Treatment Approaches - Episode 1
Defining Hypoparathyroidism
Welcome back to another HCPLive Peer Exchange series. In this opening episode, panelists highlight the underlying causes of hypoparathyroidism and the impact of the loss of parathyroid hormone function by examining the following critical questions: 1. What is chronic hypoparathyroidism, and how is it defined? 2. How does the loss of parathyroid hormone (PTH) function disrupt calcium and phosphate homeostasis in hypoparathyroidism? 3. What are the causes of chronic hypoparathyroidism, and is there any way to predict or prevent it? When might genetic testing be appropriate? In the next episode, panelists will continue their discussion on hypoparathyroidism and highlight how it is diagnosed and the key challenges in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with hypoparathyroidism.
