Having Kidney Pain, Flu Symptoms, Neck Pain. Calcium Levels High. Any Chance Of Having Parathyroid Disease?
I was going to the Doctor for about 9 months now for kidney pain, fatigue, flu like symptoms, and horrible neck pain. I had blood tests February where my calcium was 9.5, April 10.5, and July 11.1. I was also tested for parathyroid; I was wondering if there is a high chance that I have parathyroid disease? My dad has dangerously high calcium levels resulting in kidney stones.

High calcium levels usually co-relate with parathyroid disease,it would help to get the parathyroid levels checked.Weakness,bodyache and kidney stones may occur if parathyroid hormone(PTH)levels are elevated.Familial Endocrine Neoplasia 1 is a genetic disease in which elevated PTH levels are seen in families.A CT/MRI scan of the thyroid may help identify any adenoma/malignancy of the parathyroid glands.
