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.
- 1.1 Intravenous calcium supplementation
- Preferred regimen (1): Calcium gluconate 1 to 2 g in 50 mL of 5% dextrose over 10-20 minutes initially followed by maintenance by 50 – 100 mg/hour.
- 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): Calcium citrate (21% elemental calcium) (more effective in patients with achlorhydria and PPI use, worsening constipation)
- 2.2 Vitamin D supplementation
- Preferred regimen (1): Calcitriol 0.25 to 2 μg q24h (>.75 μg administered in divided doses)
- Preferred regimen (2): Cholecalciferol (parent vitamin D3)
- Preferred regimen (3): Ergocalciferol (parent vitamin D2)
- 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
- 2.1 Oral calcium
- 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
- 3.1.1 Thiazides
- 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.
