Posted in: Hyperparathyroidism.
Does anyone else have parathyroid disease and low alk phosphatase? My endo believes I have 'mild' parathyroid disease because my calcium (ranging weekly from 9.4-10.4) and PTH (ranging weekly from 40-71) are not very elevated.
She is more concerned with my low alkaline phosphatase (ranging from 20-24) and she believes this, not my parathyroid, may be causing my bone aches.
I am wondering if the bad parathyroid is causing the alkaline phosphatase to drop. Any one else have this problem?
Thanks,
Tamra

This long after your initial post I am just wondering if you have found any answers?
I just cannot imagine an endocrinologist referring to parathyroid disease as mild. You have jumped the first two hurdles (elevated calcium/PTH levels) in diagnosing this disease. Have you had a DEXA scan, yet, to jump the third and final hurdle?
I wish you would direct your alkaline phosphatase question to Dr. James Norman. I would be interested in his response as well as his reaction to your endo's comments!
Hope to hear from you!
