Normal Bone Density: Your bone density results are normal. Theis is good since it can be reduced in hyperparathyroidism.

Questions: http://www.jbc.org/content/28/1/237.full.pdf to better understand that urinary calcium levels vary. It is best to do a creatinine clearance and a 24 hour urinary calcium level. Whoever ordered it should review it with you. The thyroid function is ok so you should stay on that dose. The bone density is more accurate in hips and lumbar spine and should be reviewed with your doc.
