Paraphyroid hormon

[petra04]

Am waiting to have surgery next week to remove a 12mm hypoechoic nodual with small calcifications.in my thyroid.Anyway after having a blood text done,a doctor called me to say my Paraphyroid hormon was high,11.,-vitamin D low.I'm confused,does this have anything to do with my thyroid nodual?

I've never had surgery on my thyroid, but I would think some swelling might be normal.  You will need to work closely with you doctor to make sure everything is okay.

Ok..had half thyroid removed last week and wont know results till next wed.Didnt realise it takes so long for results to come back.They didnt say much about the Parathyroid except I'm to do blood tests next week prior to seeing my surgeon.I feel fine though my other side of Thyroid is swollen,Is this normal.

The only relationship the parathyroids have with the thyroid is their location in the body.  You have 4 parathyroids, located just behind your thyroid.  Your thyroid is shaped like a butterfly and there's a parathyroid gland behind each corner of the "wings" of the butterfly.

That said, if you have a parathyroid issue, which it appears you might, I think you would want to pin that down prior to having thyroid surgery, in case one or more would need to be removed.
