Synthetic Human Parathyroid Hormone 1-34 Replacement Therapy: A Randomized Crossover Trial Comparing Pump Versus Injections in the Treatment of Chronic Hypoparathyroidism

摘要

Context:Vitamin D therapy for hypoparathyroidism does not restore PTH-dependent renal calcium reabsorption, which can lead to renal damage. An alternative approach, PTH 1-34 administered twice daily, provides acceptable long-term treatment but is associated with nonphysiological serum calcium fluctuation.
