It is not necessary that one person will have all the symptoms at once.
– The problem with modern primary hyperparathyroidism is that it often may be asymptomatic or even asymptomatic, – explained the endocrinologist Berkovskaya. – In this case, the disease can progress and give complications.
If among the signs of increased calcium in the blood you have found at least one, you should take a blood test for calcium.
– It is best to choose the option “total calcium + albumin”, the doctor will calculate the calcium adjusted for albumin, – recommends Marina Berkovskaya.
If you have many or all of the listed symptoms, this is an occasion to urgently take detailed biochemistry, as well as parathyroid hormone and vitamin D.
– But even if you do not have a single symptom, donate calcium in the blood as part of a biochemical blood test at least once a yearthe doctor advises.
