Hello @debs4246 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I can understand your concern about the high PTH numbers as well as some of the other lab reports that are low. However, I am not a medical professional. Mayo Connect is a patient support forum where we support each other but cannot offer medical advice or opinions.
I'm wondering how long you have had these high PTH numbers. Several years or just recently?

I would highly recommend that you to get a referral to an endocrinologist. This is the type of specialist who can help sort out these issues. Are you currently seeing an endocrinologist?

My wife's pth was 213, 191. She had 3 glands removed that were bad, her surgeon here in Milwaukee was only going to take out the 1 bad one they could see and not check all 4. We went to Tampa Florida to the Norman center and they checked all 4 and removed 3 bad ones. easy surgery, 6 hrs in hospital and then back in the hotel room. Her pth dropped like a rock and now is normal. We had a great time in Tampa! These people are top notch surgeons. Don't wait any longer.
