Hi everyone!

I had bloodwork done yesterday for my Nephrologist.
I was dismayed to see there is a high Intact PTH (81) When I did a bit of research and saw it involved, parathyroid and kidneys I could have cried.
In 2007 I had to have one of my parathyroid glands removed. There was a large tumor on it so I was feeling awful.

I thought I was done with parathyroid problems…

Is it treated with meds?

My Neph put me on Cholecalciferol (vitamin 3D) everyday. One capsule a day. My PTH came down significantly. My parathyroid levels were over 300, now around 200 and coming down.
