Abstract

Patients with hypoparathyroidism are at risk of many complications, both from the disease itself as well as from adverse effects of currently available treatment regimens. Ongoing care with a provider familiar with the treatment of this disorder is critical in order to meet the complex needs of patients and to optimize their outcomes (see also Chap. 15). The overarching goals of follow-up care for hypoparathyroidism are to ensure that effective care is in place and that the manifestations of the disease are as well controlled as possible.
