Hello,
Thank you for your query
Would you please clarify a few things for me?
-how old are you?
-Have the kidney stones been tested to check for the type of stone?
-do you have any other medical issues or take any medications?
I recommend :
-an endocrinologist opinion
-blood tests (to check for calcium, phosphorus levels, complete blood count,kidney function tests)
-urine analysis
-an ultrasound /CT of your neck to check for any parathyroid gland enlargement
-vitamin d supplementation.
If your calcium levels are too high, it can be controlled with medications and diet modifications. If there is a growth on the gland that is causing this high levels of the hormone, it may need to be removed and treated.
Based on the above results, a treatment plan will be initiated.
Hope this helps. Please let me know if there is anything else I can help you with.
Wish you good health
