Secondary Hyper Parathyroidism

by swatis, Aug 22, 2008 06:25AM
My father has recently been diagnosed with secondary hyper parathyroidism.However there are other medical readings also which are out of range . Following are given below-:
                                       TestResults   Reference Range
Vitamin D                         28                 (47.70-144.00)
Platelet                            277                (150-410)

Glucose                           125                (74-100)
fasting plasma

TSh                                 0.1                (0.350-5.550)
T4                                   normal
mean corpuscular -           34.8              (31.5-34.5)
hmoglobin concentration      

calcium                           8.8               (8.5-10.1)

PTH serum(intact)           184              (14-72.0)
Blood pressure                160/90
Before treatment Blood pressure was 130/90 however after taking medication the next BP reading rose to 160/90.Also platelet count decreased from 277 to 182 after medication.
He has been under medication and vitamin D suplements for around 1 and half month , but has not found much relief in body ache and weakness.Around how much time would  it take to cure secondary hyperparathyroidism using vitamin D supplements .Also according what other factor may be causing other readings also to go out of range?Can you pls suggest what kind of diet should such a patient take to cure this secondary hyper PTH at the earliest .

Thanks you so much.

Secondary Hyperparathyroidism is a bit more complicated because it’s usually stemming from some other illness.  I don’t get the picture of what that is from what you shared (but you don’t have to mention it either).  Even if I did know, it wouldn’t matter - secondary hyperparathyroidism is one that needs to be guided by your dr, because of the complexities.

Sorry to be so vague.  I wish your father well and admire that you’re caring enough to take the time to find answers for him.

Here’s a website that might give you more insight:  parathyroid.com.

Good luck.
