Is There Any Relationship Between Salt Cravings And Parathyroid Disorder?
Question: Is there a relationship between salt cravings and parathyroid disorder?
Brief Answer:
Yes, it can be due to an associated Addison's Disease
Detailed Answer:
Hi there,
Thanks for using HCM.
Salt craving may indicate an underactive adrenal glands called Addison's disease or a Kidney disease called Bartter syndrome.
Sometimes Addison's disease may be associated with other conditions like hypoparathyroidism which you are suffering from.
You can discuss with your doctor about a possible associated Addison's disease that might be causing salt cravings.
I hope that answers your question.
With kind regards,
