665125 tn?1273023924 25 mcg per day so I can absorb the 3500 mg of OsCal calcium supplement, my calcium levels are still barely normal and I am systematic of Hypocalcemia. What treatment is available to raise my calcium level, something other than Calcitriol? What is the best absorbed calcium supplement? Is there something else I need to take to help with calcium absorbtion? I was told that one can not continue taking this high of calcium supplement for it can cause kidney problems.
1916673 tn?1420233270 Thanks for the link. Last week my vet mentioned this therapy as a possibility for Mandy if we can get her BUN & Creatinine down to more normal levels. I had never heard of it before then, and then voila, I saw it mentioned in your post.

Avatar n tn We brought her in for dental work and the blood tests showed high creatinine and urea. Her phosperus levels are normal with elevated calcium. She is showing no signs of sickness. Her appetite is great, lots of energy, etc. 4 years ago another blood test showed the same calcium levels but normal kidney function. My vet(s) are confused by the test results. All her other blood tests are normal (sodium, pot, protein, etc) We are giving her subcutaneous fluids, a kidney diet and some probiotics.
455126 tn?1212432198 25 mcg), although at my Endo appointment 2 weeks ago we agreed that I could just do 1 calcitriol 1x per day but that if I started feeling any tingling or anything to start taking the calcitriol again. My Vit D levels are still a little low but are improving and calcium levels are staying in the normal range, my parathyroid is in the normal range but still low so that's why the Dr. didn't want to reduce any of the other meds yet, just slowly weaning me off. Every Dr.

5717070 tn?1376586671 I live in NY actually. What the test showed was high levels of calcitriol. I looked this up and from what I understand sarcoidosis can cause this. I will have my Neuro send me for X-rays of the chest and such next time I see him just to rule this out. Sarcoidosis can mimic MS.
Avatar n tn IF I had HPT, would I be able to keep my Ca levels in this normal range by myself with OTC Ca and D? OR IF I had HPT, my levels would go down and not stay stable? OR is is "artificially raised" due to so much CA? I am looking for some reassurance here, that I DO NOT have HPT, and that IF I did, my levels would not be this good....so I don't have it. PTH in hospital was 16, but I was on IV Ca, for 3 1/2 days, and saline fluids non stop. I just don't get all of this....
393419 tn?1228447393 9.6 totally normal he actually told me to stop taking the calcitriol, but when he tapped my face to do the "Chvostek's Sign", my lips spasmed. . .he didn't seem too concerned (and me like an idiot didn't ask any questions about it), but my feet have been falling asleep easily lately and my hands have been a bit tingly what's up? what could couse that if my calcium is supposedly fine? . . .could it be magnesium?

139126 tn?1255036991 Had a TT 5+ weeks ago. Was told my parathyroids were not touched and my calcium levels have been really good. Dr had me take .25 mg of calcitriol daily for 4 weeks; just weaned down to .25mg every other day. Taking 2000 mg of calcium a day plus whatever I get in my diet. My most recent serum calcium test came in at .88 which my Dr says is below normal and he's concerned. Is it usual for your parathyroids to stop working so long after surgery?
Avatar n tn The tingling, burning sensation, the muscle spasms and so on. However, my blood test have shown normal calcium levels. I'm currently take my medication as prescribed, but I still have these symptoms. So I'm wondering if long term hypothyroidism can cause hypocalcemia and if a person could have hypocalcemia when calcium levels are within normal range on regular blood test? Or is there a special blood test which test for hypocalcemia?
Avatar f tn 25 twice a day ir keep it doubled which they did when i was taken back to hospital... my levels were all in normal limits 5 days after initial drop in mag pot and calcium I just am scared they are going to get low again or do reverse and get too high... my docs cant agree I went to a big hospital to get best care and now they are just acting like they have no real idea what to do ...
Avatar m tn Such studies generally find that rates drop rapidly as vitamin D levels rise above 5-10 ng/mL (12-25 nmol/L), then more slowly until levels of 40 ng/mL (100 nmol/L) are reached. How vitamin D works: Vitamin D blocks the growth of cancer tumors. The active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, does most of the work. Calcitriol is made in the liver and in various organs affected by cancer.
Avatar m tn Ever since she has this terrible feeling of electricity going through her body. She was told it is in connection with calcium intake levels. It is taking what appears to be an inordinate amount of time to balance whatever it is that is creating this presentation. Referrals to specialists to fix it are far off when a person is in such great discomfort. Is there anything that can be done in the meanwhile? Why does this happen? Is it common?
Avatar f tn t want to do radiation because I have a little one at home. My calcium levels plummeted at the hospital that I needed to stay 4 nights. I was discharged with a level of 7.5. I went back the next day for follow up lab. My levels dropped again. They increased my calcium dosage to 3 pills of cal vit d 4 times a day and citricol 2 times a day. Will I ever be normal or regulated again? I want more children and I just feel with surgery I screwed myself.
4294592 tn?1354141595 I received a call from my doctor saying my vitamin d levels are low. She did not give me the range. I have hypoparathyroidism due to surgery i take 50mcg's of calcitriol a day to mantain calcium level. She wants me to add another 25mcg's of calcitriol because my vitamin d is low. Does that sound right? Because i would think that the test she did would have to be specific looking at the active and inactive forms of vitamin d. I dont know what to do but i dont think she is right..
Avatar f tn It really depends. . .I had my total thyroidectomy on 8/4 and had a calcium crash a few days later. After being in the hospital for a week on an IV calcium drip, I was released on massive amounts of calcitriol (Prescription vit. ) & calcium. I am now down to manageable levels of calcium (3 a day) and my doctor wants me off of the calcitriol. . .
Avatar f tn Okay, long story short. TT Dec. 2008 followed by RAI. Had cancer, have scanned clean ever since. I take Synthroid 137 mcg and 1/4 of Cytomel. Had labs about 2 months ago (free T3 and free T4 not tested) and my T3 was low. He added Cytomel, a whole one was too much. Tried to take 1/2, still too much. He said take 1/4 for a month and retest. I requested free T3 and free T4 this time. Here are my new labs: I'm not gonna put all the Basic Metabolic Panel stuff since all of that was normal.
Avatar f tn com/topdrs/ Some docs check thyroid levels every eight weeks, but mine treats my thryoid levels every four. Once we get me stabilized, then maybe once or twice a year.
Avatar n tn This can be due to low calcium - call your doctor to determine the right dose of calcium replacement and vit D (sometimes prescription vit D such as calcitriol is needed). It may resolve with time, but close followup is needed.
Avatar m tn I am taking 800-1000mg daily of Citracal, and Calcitriol .25 twice a day. They checked my PTH level and it was undetectable. I also had low phosphorus levels. I am worried about it happening again since I don't know why it happened. The only symptom I really had was menstrual-type cramping.
Avatar n tn Now, my question....IF I had HPT, would I be able to keep my Ca levels in this normal range by myself with OTC Ca and D? OR IF I had HPT, my levels would go down and not stay stable? OR is is "artificially raised" due to so much CA? I am looking for some reassurance here, that I DO NOT have HPT, and that IF I did, my levels would not be this good....so I don't have it. I just don't get all of this....am I way off base here?
