Doctor suspects primary hyperparathyroidism, looking for insight
Hi all, I'm 33f, based in the US, 6 months postpartum, and saw my doctor recently for a routine checkup. My lab results came back with slightly elevated calcium (10.8mg/dL), and she issued another test, including ionized calcium and PTH. Results for that were serum calcium 10.4mg/dL (normal range 8.6-10.2), ionized at 5.3mg/dL (normal range 4.7-5.5), and PTH at 18mg/dL (normal range 16-77). I don't really have symptoms of hyperparathyroidism that I've noticed, but I'm still feeling quite nervous about what this means for me and my baby. She's referring me to an endocrinologist, and I was just hoping for some insight while I sit and wait forever for that appointment. Thanks, all!
Editing to add that I've been taking vitamin D3 - 6000iu daily since becoming pregnant, and eat D3 rich foods as well. Is it possible this is the cause?
