Hyperparathyroidism: Your latest lab results are normal for both calcium (c) and parathyroid hormone (pth). Ask what your serum chloride (cl) and phosphorus (p) is. If your cl/p ratio is > 33 to 1, chances are you have hyperparathyroidism. Other tests that confirm that diagnosis are x-rays of the hand showing reabsorption of bone and a parathyroid ultrasound or a parathyroid nuclear scan. See an endocrinologist.
