Thanks so much for your reply. I do have family history, as you mentin, which is why I asked my doctor about a calcium score scan. I will ask him about parathyroid levels, as you suggest. I've been looking for parathyroid levels at the Mayo Clinic website, but no luck so far. Do you have a link by any chance? May I ask if even with the parathyroid problems you still needed to take a statin medication? Thanks again!

Check out google/scholar.
On google line type in google/scholar. It is not easy to read some of the article articles. No junk or scam type of information on it. I have found it to be good in the past.
I too could not find much on MC site. There are a number of medical centers that might have information for you.
Good luck.

@joanne10 and @minnesota10, you might find this information from Mayo Clinic Laboratories helpful:
