My dr. won't check pth because my calcium levels are consistently normal. will calcium always be elevated in parathyroid disorders?

See below: Calcium levels may be on the high normal side on some who have hyperactive parathyroid. Symptoms are broad, from fatigue to bone pains. Can be primary hyperparathyroidism which is directly from the parathyroid as cause like a nodule or secondary like in kidney disease. Hope this helps.

Parathyroid test: Parathyroid levels are very closely reflected by your calcium levels my impression is you are concerned about over active and general totally normal calcium is enough there are rare cases where actual assessment by direct measurements is of value in a fair number of patients with vitamind insufficiency we see high PTH levels which is a costly way to decide all of us need calcium and vitamin d.

Why do u think PTH?: High normal calcium can be seen in primary hyperparathyroidism. If your calcium is normal why do you think you PTH is abnormal?
