    Discover how enzyme replacement therapy with Strensiq addresses the root cause of hypercalcemia in HPP by restoring bone mineralization. Learn why this isn't about restricting calcium-it's about helping bones use it effectively.

    Strensiq: Reversing Hypercalcemia in Hypophosphatasia Patients

    Best quote from Strensiq: Reversing Hypercalcemia in Hypophosphatasia Patients

    “

    Hypercalcemia in hypophosphatasia isn't treated by restricting calcium—it's resolved by restoring the body's ability to use it effectively. When patients start asfotase alfa, their bones can finally mineralize, creating a 'hungry bone' phenomenon where circulating calcium finally has somewhere productive to go.
