Elevated PTH after Reclast

Posted by mjwg @mjwg, Apr 13 3:11pm

I had a reclast infusion in Feburary and PTH checked in March (200). Again last week (192). Has anyone had elevated PTH after taking Reclast?

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Osteoporosis & Bone Health Support Group.

I found this when I did a quick on-line search: "Reclast (zoledronic acid) can raise parathyroid hormone (PTH) levels as a response to its anti-resorptive effects in patients being treated for osteoporosis. This elevation in PTH is not considered a disease phenomenon but rather a reaction to the medication."

There were several articles listed when I did my search, so it might be something you could investigate on-line.
