High parathyroid test result

[Mishka4]

Hi everyone

Along with being hypo, vitamin D deficient and having Hughes Syndrome it now looks like I've got another 'thing', just got a PTH result back;

Serum parathyroid hormone 10.4 pmol/L (1.6 - 7.5 pmol/L)

Corrected serum calcium 2.36 mmol/L (2.2 - 2.6 mmol/L)

Total Vitamin D 144.2 nmol/L adequate (taking 9000 IU daily under guidance of endo)

25-hydroxyvitamin D3 129.2 nmol/L

25-hydroxyitamin D2 15.0 nmol/L

I'm still having huge issues with joint and muscle pain, lethargy and swelling, all of which temporarily vanished when I was recently on holiday in Australia but is now back with a vengeance!

My GP wants to speak to me and I have a phone consult with my metabolic bone disease specialist soon but if anyone has any thoughts or experiences of all this parathyroid stuff in the meantime I'd be most interested

Sorry to hear of another diagnosis, Mishka.

Many thanks Clutter, I think I might have secondary hyperparathyroidism from what I just read but I am very jet lagged and could be very wrong!

Thanks again

Hi For PTH you need an am test of PTH, Vit D and calcium. Unless 2 high it is OK. If they are then a nuclear scan and CT of PTH and ultra sound of thyroid.
