Parathyroid Blood Count
by willis62, Oct 23, 2008 03:52PM
I recently had blood work done due to the fact that I have Hypothyroidism. I daily take 5500 mg of Calcium and a prescription Vitamin D. I also take Synthroid.175. This treatment has been ongoing for nearly 20 years now, My bloodwork showed my Parathyroid Count as 135. My doctor was very puzzled and referred my to a specialist, which I have not seen yet. What does that Blood count mean?

High parathyroidism can be Primary or secondary. My new Endo doc doesn't think I have primary but my other Endo doc says it is.
Any ideas?
Willis62- I'm not a doctor, but I think that having high parathyroid causes increase of calcium serum. You're taking a lot of calcium. Ask your doc about this right away.
