In this short, chaptered video programme, Dr Chad Deal, Head of the Center for Osteoporosis and Metabolic Bone Disease at the Cleveland Clinic, shares practical insights to help clinicians identify patients with hypophosphatasia (HPP).

 

Despite being a lifelong metabolic condition, HPP is often under-recognised, especially in adults. Dr Deal discusses the importance of distinguishing HPP from other musculoskeletal and rheumatic diseases that HPP commonly disguises itself as, including osteoporosis, fibromyalgia, pseudogout, and arthritis-like conditions1-5. He also explains how understanding the clinical presentation, recognising HPP signs and symptoms, and taking a detailed patient and family history can support timely diagnosis and appropriate care.

Dr Chad Deal shares his insights on:

  • Recognising presentations of HPP, including key symptoms and common misdiagnoses (Chapter 1)
  • HPP diagnosis and earlier recognition of HPP signs and symptoms and the impact of deficient ALP  (Chapter 2)
  • The role of family history in identifying other affected individuals with HPP (Chapter 3)
  • The evolution of our understanding that led us to rethink HPP (Chapter 4)

 

Next:

  • View 5 fact cards here to reveal key statistics and clinical insights on the diagnosis and disease burden of (HPP) in children and adults. Will they make you rethink HPP diagnosis and disease burden?
  • Watch a short animated video on rethinking HPP disease burden and the systemic impacts of deficient alkaline phosphate activity
