ForwardPediatric Bone Day
Join us for an educational day of learning about common genetic bone diseases in children and how best to diagnose and treat them.
Target Audience
Physicians, Nurses, APPs, researchers
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this activity, participants will be able to:
- Differentiate the key clinical and biochemical features of X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLH) from other causes of rickets and osteomalacia.
- Outline the systematic steps in evaluating pediatric patients with suspected bone disorders, including history, physical examination, imaging, and laboratory investigations.
- Compare conventional and biologic treatment options for XLH, integrating patient age, disease severity, and multidisciplinary management goals.
- Explain the genetics and inheritance patterns of hypophosphatasia (HPP) and recognize low alkaline phosphatase as a diagnostic biomarker.
- Formulate a long-term multidisciplinary care plan for patients with XLH transitioning from childhood to adulthood.
