Elevated parathyroid hormone (PTH): How is it treated?

CALCIUM: All that I know is the
primary doctor had me back for two more blood tests because of the high calcium. They have told me nothing else yet. No numbers to go by. I quit taking the vitamin D when I got the first notice.
I was never told in the past that the supplement could be risky and I have been taking it for years.

Can you get copies of your blood results? We can and it would help you if you could see other numbers. Doc should certainly tell you more than it sounds like he/she has.

I take vitamin d (25000 iu per week) and a low D level can be connected to hyperparathyroidism. D is very important and maybe you should have doc check your D levels before you quit it. Elevated calcium can mean that PTH is taking it from your bones. In my opinion, you should be seeing an endocrinologist, and not be treated by your primary.
