Most clinicians won’t act unless pth is 10x the upper value.

Mine runs in 600s. I’m on sensipar and calctriol for it. And it’s barely dips below 300. They just give me the shrug. Like no big deal.


I think normal ranges are 40-100


Expect it to be more, obviously if you got any inkling of a compromised renal function. Thoughts I remember, you posted your GFR based on my memory of that thread it wasn’t that bad IMO.

Now you can have good GFR but your kidneys can’t still be miscommunicating the regulation of pth and calcium allocation.


I have a shîtty GFR but I have zero issue with phosphorous and potassium. Most low renal patients, K and Ph are the absolute devil to them.

Post up your lab value. On the PTH.



GFR 31
PTH was 6........not a misprint.......6.


It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.
