Summary
The ESE Educational Programme on Parathyroid Disorders, PARAT, developed this pre-congress course in order to provide further insights into the management of hypoparathyroidism and primary hyperparathyroidism as well as with the complications related to these parathyroid disorders. This year, the course will focus on the three key evolving areas: treatment of chronic hypoparathyroidism in adults; fracture risk in parathyroid disorders; and medical and surgical management of primary hyperparathyroidism.
