Question about DEXA Scan inaccuracy

@daisy17 my husband also excreted excessive calcium in his urine. It was checked after he had a compression fracture. Other tests were normal. He was placed on hydrochlorothiazide (a mild diuretic) and his urine calcium has normalized. Hope this may be helpful to you.

@crbarefoot In addition to my high blood calcium levels, I also have high parathyroid hormone levels which indicate that one of my parathyroid glands is overactive. Several CT scans found a tumor (benign adenoma) on one of my glands as the cause, but I'm not a candidate for surgery for several reasons I won't get into, so my dr is monitoring me for now.
