Hey, recently I took a test for vit D & PTH to check if I need supplements.
Well, D came juste above the lower range,
PTH came at the very low range,
What I thought about this data was : that's good, PTH is low so it's good and this D is in normal range and seems enough to down the PTH so all good. But as it was low range I started supplementing 3k UI/day, lasted 2 months until this new blood test.
In this bloodtest, doctor checked my calcium. And the calcium is above the range.
My vit D lowered a little bit despite supplements (tho it could be explained by the variance in each labs, I did the test in a different city).
I don't think PTH could be really high in that short time, right? I didn't change much except D supplement so at best PTH lowered.
From my understanding, high blood calcium means high PTH because of lacks of dietary calcium and or absorption that could be caused by vit D deficiency.
How can I have both very low PTH and very high calcium? Thanks!
