Clinical practice patterns in the assessment and management of low testosterone in men: an international survey of endocrinologists.

abstract：OBJECTIVE:Nonsurgical hypoparathyroidism (NS-HypoPT) and pseudohypoparathyroidism (PHP) are rare diseases, with a prevalence of 2/100.000 and 1/100.000, respectively. Only few studies on Quality of Life (QoL) among patients with Ns-HypoPT and PHP are available. We aimed to investigate the QoL among patients with Ns-Hyp...
