Updating new labs

Hi all
  I have my new labs and my magnesium and phosphorus is perfectly normal, I went in panic mode and ask about that on fb and was surprised that some had mag/ phosphorus in the normal range also and I thought it was suppose to be low in phpt. My anxiety has been though the roof lately. My pth is 71 down from 99 last time  calcium is 11.4. I was just so worried that the normal labs would set me back. I see my endo on Nov 10 so hopefully he will schedule the venous sampling and I will be moving forward. Thank for listening Kathi

Hi Kathi

My Mag has always been normal (I have a 2cm PTH adenoma), but my serum inorganic phosphates have been low and I think it is those that are generally low in pHPT.

With a calcium of 11.4 (2.85 UK), as I understand it your PTH is certainly "inappropriately unsupressed" (FP uses this description) at those levels (71=7.5; 99=10.5 in UK figures). These labs are similar to mine (although my max serum calcium is 2.73) and yours must indicate a nice juicy PTH adenoma hiding somewhere.

I'm sure your endo will be able to see this and get the VS arranged soon.
Roll on 10 November!

Thanks Tigerlily I am glad to know that normal on mag and phosphorus in phpt is okay. I am having some dental issues so I'm off to  see the dentist.
