Optimizing Outcomes in Hypoparathyroidism: A New Era in Treatment Approaches - Episode 4
Quality of Life Impact in Hypoparathyroidism
In ‘Acute and Long-Term Complications of Hypoparathyroidism,’ our panel delves into the potential renal, neuromuscular, cognitive, and bone complications that impact patients.
This episode, titled ‘Quality of Life Impact in Hypoparathyroidism,’ features expert endocrinologists discussing patients’ quality of life, the anxiety that many patients with hypoparathyroidism may experience, and how patients can effectively communicate their symptoms to their providers, family, and friends.
Led by the moderator, the panelists examine the following critical questions:
- What is the impact of chronic hypoparathyroidism on our patients’ quality of life?
- Do your patients with hypoparathyroidism also describe anxiety or cognitive problems such as 'brain fog'?
- How do investigators describe these symptoms in clinical trials, and how can patients with hypoparathyroidism best communicate their symptoms to their providers, family, and friends?
Throughout the conversation, the experts provide a comprehensive reflection on the field and the factors that may shape how clinicians approach care moving forward.
In the next episode, ‘Challenges of Conventional Therapy in Hypoparathyroidism’, panelists will continue their discussion on hypoparathyroidism and describe conventional therapy and its limitations and challenges.
