Primary Hyperparathyroidism

[dbackfan]

Hi there!

I hope maybe you help with some questions I have on my most recent lab workup.  My PTH, and other things cameback elevated or low.

Cortisol was 25.9
PTH was 167
GFR was 54
BUN/CREAT was 2.6
Calcium was 10.5
ALT was 87
AST was 150
C-Peptide was 5.0
Metanephrines was 276
Normetanephrine was 276
IGF-1 was 89

I'm not sure as to what is going on.  I've been seeing my Cardiologist, and Kidney doctor.  I've got extreme hypertension for the last 8 years.  Never controlled with medicines.  I was 18 and had a coarctation of the Aorta repair.  My Cardiologist referred me to and Endocrinologist and I have not received any feedback on my labs.  Do I have any concerns?  Any help you can give would be greatly appreciated.  

Thankyou,  Dbackfan

Sorry.  Duh, I just reread where you said you already know your PTH and other levels are off.

I guess I should just stick with my first sentence above.

Good luck.

Hello and welcome.

It seems like you have several things the drs are looking at so ultimately you're probably going to have to just wait until a dr explains your results, collectively.

I can address the PTH and calcium, but want to stress that I don't think you should draw any conclusions.

Those two levels are reading high according to my lab.  To give you an idea, their ranges are the following:

PTH:  10 - 69 pg/ml

Calcium:   8.6 - 10.3 mg/dl

Hope that helps.  Maybe others can address other items on your list.

Please let us know how you make out.

Take care.
