A member asked:
Osteoporosis: what can induce dramatic urinary calcium loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Several things: Hi. Is your blood calcium low, normal, or high? Has your doc checked your PTH? High urinary calcium is a risk for kidney stones. If your blood calcium is high and your PTH is high and your urine calcium is high, you have primary hyperparathyroidism. If you have high blood calcium, high urinary calcium, and suppressed calcium, other (maybe bad) stuff is going on. Not enough space; other possibility
