Question
Recently, I occasionally heard about a condition called hypophosphatasia with antithyroid D from news reports. Unfortunately, my 7-year-old nephew has also been diagnosed with this condition, which has resulted in symptoms of bow legs. I would like to ask the community if there is any possibility of curing this condition? Is it possible to completely cure it?
Answer
For hypophosphatasia with antithyroid D, surgical treatment is usually required. The specific details and timing of the surgery should be discussed with the attending physician. After surgery, medication can be discontinued, but it is necessary to continue treatment to prevent recurrence of the disease. There are cases of complete recovery from this disease, so there is no need to worry excessively.
