Paediatric assessment

Continually monitor paediatric patients

Since XLH is a chronic, progressive skeletal disorder,1-4    regular assessment is needed from childhood through adulthood to monitor the effects.5 Children should also be asked to identify areas of pain that may not show up during office visits.

Monitoring and dose adjustment at 3-month intervals are recommended to avoid hypercalcaemia, hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and hyperparathyroidism5
