I have slightly elevated intact pth and slightly below normal ionized calcium, does this confirm that i have kidney disease?

Not necssarily: Elevated PTH can cause kidney stones> Whoever ordered those tests knows you better,and by the way why did they order these lab tests ? That is not a routine tests done on patients unless you presented with some symptoms. Why not ask the doctor who ordered them
