I developed all of these symptoms except for heart problems and kidney stones (thank God). I am glad that I didn't wait longer than five years after diagnosis because by the time I had surgery, I was feeling terrible. It's taking a long time for me to feel better after surgery, but probably because I was already 50 by the time I had surgery and because the parathyroid gland had been causing problems for at least five years, probably a lot longer before we thought to see a doctor about my symptoms. I'm glad that I had the surgery because as bad as I feel now, I realize that I would eventually be even worse off if I hadn't done anything. This video explains just how serious HPT really is. Thanks!

I’m 99.9% sure this is what is and has been wrong with me for years now. Went to gastro. Had all the scopes top and bottom nothing. Had kidney stones a few times now. Nephrologist says oh we don’t know why this happens. BS. I have constant high calcium in my urine and all he does is up the diuretics. That’s NOT the answer. When I ask questions oh no it’s not that. I NEED HELP!

[@LarianMD]

Sorry to hear it RM. I would suggest getting the following labs to assess: Calcium, PTH intact, Vitamin D at 8 AM and fasting. To get a sense of your parathyroid function.

I am a special case and I think I caught it early. I had a phone consultation with you 2 years ago. You couldn't find it in the CT scan. I had surgery almost 3 weeks ago with Dr. Chen and feeling so much better. My top left adenoma was 0.48 instead of 0.2 to 0.3. My PTH was always 20-40 when you tested me but the months before surgery it finally got to 116. Calcium dipped to low levels during my pregnancy and I have osteopenia in left femoral arm. It was my bad pregnancy labs that gave me motivation to keep looking for answers.

[@trish1971]

What about secondary HPT? Left untreated? Same consequences?

[@LarianMD]

Yes in the long term the consequences are the same and in the case of kidney failure patients potentially even more challenging.

Thank you for your reply

[@YDfC21]

Thank you for this information truly saving life

[@SunnyMuldoon]

I got an ultrasound yesterday and the tech showed me how enlarged my parathyroid was and said she’s never seen a bigger one. However, when I got the lab results back, the parathyroid wasn’t even mentioned and they said everything was “normal.” I’m so frustrated, would you recommend going to a private endocrinologist for another opinion?

[@LarianMD]

Hi Sunny, checking parathyroid hormone is not routinely done with labs. Check to see if it was tested. If not, then you’ll have to do a blood test fasting at 8AM to check for calcium/PTH intact/vitamin D. To see how your parathyroid gland is functioning

Hyperparathyroidism (HPT) a hormone disorder😊
