Consider PTH replacement therapy in patients not adequately controlled on conventional therapy Inadequate control is considered to be any one of the following: Symptomatic hypocalcemia Hyperphosphatemia Renal insufficiency Hypercalciuria Poor
quality of life In addition, individuals with poor compliance, malabsorption, or who are intolerant of large doses of calcium and active vitamin D may also benefit from PTH replacement therapy 1. Aliya A Khan et al, The Second International
