Question 1

i am suffering with hypocalcium disease let me know how it will come and why amonia chloride test will do for humans because they did for me

Accepted Answer

Demand an answer: Please forgive my frankness. Nobody here knows which of a few dozen causes of hypocalcemia you have, if it is even real and not an artifact of low albumin. You have a duty to demand a better explanation from your personal physician. He/she needs to do a better job educating you. Insist on it. Best wishes.

Question 2

can calcium pyruvate lead to hypercalcemia?

Accepted Answer

No: Any calcium product taken in large amounts can increase calcium levels in susceptible people. Pyruvate is the major component of calcium pyruvate. Large amounts of the supplement is likely to cause nausea instead of high calcium.

Question 3

calcium deficiency symptoms?

Accepted Answer

See answer : Early-stage calcium deficiency may not cause any symptoms but may include: brittle nails, dry skin, yellowing of teeth, muscle cramps, excessive eye twitching, weakness, and sweating in cold weather. Later stage deficiency symptoms include: muscle spasms, numbness and tingling in the hands, feet, and face, memory loss, depression,  hallucinations, poor appetite, and abnormal heart rhythm.

Question 4

ionized calcium 4.65, pth 133, calcium 10.3, vitamin d 7, phosphorus 4.9, recurrent kidney stones. thyroid lobe,  two parathyroids removed in 2004.

Accepted Answer

Uncertain: These test results don't add up to a straight forward answer.  However, I would be concerned about the possibility of recurrent primary hyperparathyroidism.  You should take Vit D to eliminate Vit D deficiency as a cause for high PTH levels.  Once this is done, if you still have high PTH with high calcium levels, you have recurrent primary HPTH and will need surgery again.

Question 5

can calcium intake cause renal stones?

Accepted Answer

Not necessarily.: Kidney stone formers often have elevated levels of calcium in the urine and calcium lowering medications can help them. However, reducing calcium in the diet is not recommended and does not seem to prevent stones. Excessive intake may predispose to stones, but there is no evidence that it will cause them. If you have a prior history of stone, taking the regular usrda of calcium is recommended.

Question 6

can tums (calcium carbonate) cause kidney stones?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Tums (calcium carbonate) have calcium in them and excess calcium either stays in the the intestine and goes with a bm or is absorbed and goes out in the urine.  Excess use of calcium supplements can lead to stones.  That being said we usually don't restrict dietary calcium.

Question 7

can serum calcium be elevated with hyperparathyroidism?

Accepted Answer

Ca and parathyroid: Yes, serum calcium (c) is elevated in patients with hyperparathyroidism (hp). This is due to c being liberated from the bone due to the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on it and more c being absorbed by the kidney, raising the c of the blood. Hp is normally treated by removing the parathyroid gland that has an adenoma secreting the excess pth. If no gland is found, Cinacalcet is an option.

Question 8

is calcium carbonate a better calcium supplement than calcium citrate?

Accepted Answer

No: No, the only difference is that the former is better taken with food whereas the latter (calcium citrate) can be taken on an empty stomach.

Question 9

can excess calcium cause kidney stone?

Accepted Answer

Calcium: If you are talking about excess calcium in your blood, the answer is yes.

Question 10

are tums (calcium carbonate) a good calcium supplement?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Tum's can be used as a calcium supplement.  The tum's smoothies taste better than the other tum's.
