Hyperparathyroidism caused osteoporosis--now what treatment?
Osteoporosis & Bone Health | Last Active: 2 days ago | Replies (47)Comment receiving replies
I also have hyperparathyroidism. Mine is secondary due to kidney issues. Subsequent to over a year on dialysis (which was really bad for my bones) I was able to get a kidney transplant. Now, two years post transplant, my PTH is still high, but not as bad as before. I did lose bone mass before and during dialysis, but now it is holding steady. I attribute it to weight bearing exercise with a trainer 3x per week and healthy eating. May I ask at around what level your PTH was for those years it was high?

I go to therapy for incontinence which I am thrilled to say has given me excertises to stop the drip!! I've read several entries about weight bearing exercises. When I return to therapy, Jan 2025, I will ask the therapist about the weight bearing exercises.

I have stage 4 renal failure, no dialysis. My nephrologist wants my PTH slightly elevated (70-110 for stage 4) to allow for normal bone turnover. I have been on a low dose of Calcitriol (active vitamin D) for years. It has kept the PTH within the desired range but has not helped in preventing decreasing bone density.
