A member asked:
Does having high calcium of 10.3 in blood mean thyroid problems?
3 doctors weighed in across 3 answers
Parathyroid: Hi. If (yes, IF) your calcium is high (need to see serum albumin...if your albumin is high, your calcium of 10.3 could be NORMAL), the most likely cause is parathyroid, NEVER to be confused with the thyroid. "Para" in parathyroid means "close to" the thyroid, in terms of anatomical location. Physiologically, there is NO relationship between the thyroid and the parathyroids. Hope that helps.

Unlikely: Borderline, depending on lab and test. Get repeated . parathyroid issues can lead to truly elevated serum calcium.

Calcium 10.3: No it's not the thyroid but might be the parathyroid. Sounds similar because of the name but has a different function.
