Table 2.

Goals of Management

1. Avoid symptomatic hypocalcemia
2. Maintain the serum calcium in the lower range of normal or slightly below. It is generally not recommended to exceed the middle of the population range for the normal serum calcium concentration
3. Keep the serum phosphate as close to normal as possible
4. Maintain a normal serum magnesium concentration
5. Maintain the calcium × phosphate product as close to normal as possible and always <55 mg2/dL2 [4.4 mmol2/L2]
6. Avoid hypercalciuria
7. Prevent extraskeletal complications, like nephrocalcinosis and nephrolithiasis
8. Improve quality of life
