Ipoparatiroidismo e qualità di vita
摘要
Hypoparathyroidism (HPT) is an endocrine disease characterised by hypocalcaemia. It causes neurological, renal, bone and eye symptoms, impairing quality of life (QoL). Therapy is based on vitamin D and calcium; PTH is used in refractory cases. QoL is assessed by generic (SF-36) or specific (HPES, HPQ-28) questionnaires. The use of these questionnaires can be very useful in clinical practice, although currently not recommended by guidelines. New therapies such as palopegteriparatide improve disease control and patient well-being.
