Hypocalcemia Revisited - A CSEM Knowledge Transfer Activity (KTA)
Tuesday, June 28, 2022 from 7:30-9:30 pm ET
Dr. Aliya Khan, a trailblazer in bone and mineral research, will lead a case-based approach to the urgent, emergent, and chronic management of hypocalcemia. Are you wondering what to do beyond standard treatments, including what to do in pregnancy? We’ll explore the role of active vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and PTH analogues, and calcium-sparing diuretics. Discussion will also include the role of genetics in the development of nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism and how obtaining a molecular diagnosis can guide your management approach.
This self-assessment program will include pre- and post- tests using live polling during the session to allow you to claim Section 3 credits.
At the end of this session, participants will be able to:
- Identify key considerations in the management of hypocalcemia beyond standard treatments
- Develop a rational approach to diagnosing the underlying cause of hypocalcemia, including when a genetic cause should be considered
- Understand the changes in calcium homeostasis in pregnancy and how this will impact your management of hypoparathyroidism during pregnancy.
