Hyperparathyroidism due to an Adenoma. Seeing Endo for referral tomorrow. Don’t really know what to expect moving forward.
I’m a type 1 Diabetic, about 3 weeks ago my routine lab work came back with elevated levels of calcium. I wasn’t too surprised as I had seen a hormone specialist last summer as I was having a hard time getting a PCOS diagnosis l(surprise I have that too!), and my Calcium levels were elevated then with a borderline vitamin D deficiency. No concerns were raised at that time, I was just told to start taking Vitamin D.
Jump to 3 weeks ago and my levels are elevated, so my primary jumped to ordering a PTH test. Which came back high. I immediately scheduled an appointment with my endo as I needed to for my diabetes anyway and we went over what the next steps were.
A couple days later I had all my labs drawn, urine collected and US of my thyroid performed. Labs were as expected with Hyperthyroidism, the US as read by the radiologist states mass with blood supply, most likely a parathyroid adenoma.
I made an appointment with my endo tomorrow morning to see about getting a referral to an ENT surgeon. Should I expect any further scans or test before they do the referral. Also are there any questions I should ask my endo?
I know it’s most likely benign, though I’m trying not to spiral and think worst case scenario . Didn’t think that I would be dealing with this at 27. Anyways TIA!
