Overview

There is no treatment for [disease name]; the mainstay of therapy is supportive care.

OR

Supportive therapy for [disease name] includes [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and [therapy 3].

OR

The majority of cases of [disease name] are self-limited and require only supportive care.

OR

[Disease name] is a medical emergency and requires prompt treatment.

OR

The mainstay of treatment for [disease name] is [therapy].

OR   The optimal therapy for [malignancy name] depends on the stage at diagnosis.

OR

[Therapy] is recommended among all patients who develop [disease name].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].

OR

Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].

OR

Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].

OR

Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].


Medical Therapy

Severe hypocalcemia, a potentially life-threatening condition, is treated as soon as possible with intravenous calcium (e.g. as calcium gluconate). Generally, a central venous catheter is recommended, as the calcium can irritate peripheral veins and cause phlebitis.

Long-term treatment of hypoparathyroidism is with calcium and Vitamin D3 supplementation (D1 is ineffective in the absence of renal conversion). Teriparatide, a synthetic form of PTH (presently registered for osteoporosis) might become the treatment of choice for PTH supplementation, although further studies are awaited.


Medical Therapy

  • Pharmacologic medical therapy is recommended among patients with [disease subclass 1], [disease subclass 2], and [disease subclass 3].
  • Pharmacologic medical therapies for [disease name] include (either) [therapy 1], [therapy 2], and/or [therapy 3].
  • Empiric therapy for [disease name] depends on [disease factor 1] and [disease factor 2].
  • Patients with [disease subclass 1] are treated with [therapy 1], whereas patients with [disease subclass 2] are treated with [therapy 2].

Hypoparathyroidism

  • 1 Management of Acute hypocalcemia
    Note: IV calcium used for marked hypocalcemia (<7.0 mg/dL), hypocalcemia associated with symptoms, and if patients unable to take or absorb oral supplements.

      Note: Rapid infusion of calcium gluconate should not be used as it carries serious risk of cardiac dysfunction, including systolic arrest.
    • 1.2 Parenteral vitamin D therapy
      • Preferred regimen (1): Calcitriol 0.25 to 0.5 μg q12h
    • 1.3 Intravenous Magnesium supplementation (in case of hypomagnesia)
      • Preferred regimen (1): Magnesium sulfate 2g (16mEq) as 10% solution, infused over 10 -20 minutes initially, followed by 1g (8 mEq) in 100 mL infused over an hour.
  • 2 Conventional therapy for hypoparathyroidism
    • 2.1 Oral calcium
      • Preferred regimen (1): Calcium carbonate (40% elemental calcium) (better absorption with meals)

      • Alternative regimen (1): 1α-Hydroxyvitamin D (alfacalcidol) (used outside the United States)
      • Alternative regimen (2): Dihydrotachysterol (used outside the United States)
      Note(1): Serum calcium (corrected for albumin), phosphorus, and creatinine concentrations should be measured weekly to monthly during dose adjustments, and twice annually once a stable regimen has been reached.
      Note(2):Urinary calcium and creatinine should be considered during dose adjustments and should be measured twice annually on a stable regimen to evaluate for renal toxicity
  • 3 Adjunctive Treatments
    • 3.1 Diuretics
      • 3.1.1 Thiazides
        • Preferred regimen (1): Hydrochlorothiazide 25–50 mg q12h (minimum 25 mg to maximum 100 mg)
        • Alternative regimen (1): Chlorthalidone
        Note: Thiazide diuretics are not advised in congenital hypoparathyroidism due to autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 in patients who have concurrent Addison's disease or in autosomal dominant hypocalcemia.
      • 3.1.2 Potassium sparing diuretics
        • Alternative regimen (1): Amiloride 2.5 to 5 mg q12h
    • 3.2 Treatment of hyperphoshatemia
      • Preferred regimen (1): Low phosphate diet
      • Preferred regimen (2): Phosphate binders
    • 3.3 PTH replacement
      • Preferred regimen (1): rhPTH 50 μg SC q24h (concomitantly decrease the dose of active vitamin D by 50%)
      Monitor serum calcium and albumin concentrations every 3–7 days after initiation of therapy and after each dose change.
