Behind the Mystery - Hypophosphatasia

Hypophosphatasia (HPP) is a multisystemic disease that can affect many areas of the body and can often be overlooked or not correctly diagnosed until later in life. Patients with HPP may experience a wide range of unexplained and debilitating symptoms that result in a frustrating journey to find relief. Persistently low alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a hallmark of hypophosphatasia. A simple blood test to detect persistently low ALP could be the key to an HPP diagnosis. Low ALP levels vary based on sex and age, so it is important to talk to your doctor about your results. Endocrinologist Dr. Diala El-Maouche provides disease education, and HPP Patient and Advocate Cindy shares her journey with HPP, while the President and Founder of Soft Bones, Deb Fowler, and VP of Patient Experience and Advocacy at Alexion, AstraZeneca Rare Disease, Wendy Erler, share the importance of partnership between industry and advocacy.
