Continuous rhPTH (1–34) treatment in chronic hypoparathyroidism

Abstract

Standard treatment of hypoparathyroidism still consists of administration of calcium and active vitamin D. Very few patients with hypoparathyroidism also do not respond sufficiently to standard treatment or administration of s.c. parathyroid hormone once or twice daily. In those cases, continuous s.c. administration of parathyroid hormone via insulin pump may represent a successful treatment alternative.
