Abstract
The treatment of hypoparathyroidism depends on the severity of hypocalcemia, how rapidly the hypocalcemia developed, and the symptomatology. Chronic hypoparathyroidism is usually treated with oral supplementations, including calcium, calcitriol, or other active vitamin D analogs, and at times, thiazide diuretics. Although the standard therapy can adequately control patients with this disease, sometimes very high doses are required to maintain serum calcium levels in the normal range, with poor compliance and risk of long-term complications.
期刊介绍：
A series of integrated overviews on cutting-edge topics
New sophisticated technologies and methodological approaches in diagnostics and therapeutics have led to significant improvements in identifying and characterizing an increasing number of medical conditions, which is particularly true for all aspects of endocrine and metabolic dysfunctions. Novel insights in endocrine physiology and pathophysiology allow for new perspectives in clinical management and thus lead to the development of molecular, personalized treatments. In view of this, the active interplay between basic scientists and clinicians has become fundamental, both to provide patients with the most appropriate care and to advance future research.
