In PTH disease is potassium high or low

Hi All I wonder if anyone can tell me if in PTH you have high or low potassium.
Thanks Amanda xxxx

I think it's low or low normal potassium and phosphates in primary HPT Amanda, but I'm not 100%

Oh dear it's not looking good for me then.
Last 4 readings of potassium and phosphate.
10/2/14
Potassium 4.9 (range3.6-5)
Phosphate 0.95 (range0.81-1.45)
Sodium 142 (range 137-145)
25/3/14
Potassium 4.9
Phosphate 0.93
Sodium 144
12/5/14
Potassium 5
Phosphate 1.02
Sodium143
30/5/14
Potassium 4.9
Phosphate 1.16
sodium 140
Don't know what this indicates but I bet it's not good

Right I may have found answer to high potassium levels and it's nothing to do with PTH.
Nexium which is the PPI I take causes low urine calcium and high serum potassium, I've been researching this for hours and about 3-4 sites state this phew !!!!!!

I'm not saying it's good but it means it doesn't rule out PTH

Phew! Thank goodness for that! I've so far resisted taking a PPI for my gastric reflux. I've just been prescribed something for it but I can't remember what my idiot GP said it was and I haven't picked up my prescription from the pharmacy yet, but in any case my reflux is still manageable and one symptom at least that isn't too horrendous!

Don't go on them unless absolutely necessary they are poison. Unfortunately I have no choice.

Your potassium looks OK to me, Amanda. Mine is about the same (and I have a 2cm thingy).

Your sodium is at the top of the range, but so is mine.

Phosphates - both blood and urine - are almost always low in HPT. Your blood phosphate level is the same as mine - low in the range. And my urine phosphate level is just below the bottom of the range for it.

So your low phosphate level would argue for HPT, I would think.

Nothing to worry about in those readings - well, if there is I should be worried as well, and I'm worried enough already since the US. No doubt others will chip in here.

Thanks Tigerlily you've given me one less thing to consider.
Let's worry together   
Maybe I've got another one in there a torpedo/watermelon/cat thingy.

That's what friends are for, Amanda - worrying together!!

Yes, I've got the cat - and you've probably got the cat's pyjamas!!

I wonder if I've got PTH adenoma plus pituitary adenoma if they can do both as a job lot and throw in a face lift, nose job, chin/s tuck, tummy tuck, knee lift. 
Think everything else is passable. ; ) xxx
Smileys not working.
Love Amanda xxxx

I'll join you for a discount, Amanda, to include the varicose veins!!

Smileys look different - sitting to the right of long ring of stuff above. Click smiley face and they drop down.
             See?!!!

Cats to ya, Honey - Love fromTigerlily xx

Count me in! You'd think they'd do the honourable thing for us older gels and tuck a couple of chins in while they've got your neck open wouldn't you?

My potassium and phosphorus were both always normal. Two more reasons I had trouble getting diagnosed.
