What Does the following Blood Test Result Mean?
Just got my blood work back. It was done as I have lost height in the last 2 years. Went from 5 1/2 to 4 11. My PTH Intact was 107. My calcium was 9.5 But prior to this my calcium was 10.0 (2012); 9.7 (2013); 9.9 (2014) and now 9.5. Is this a concern?

Hi i believe your calicum levels have been consistently normal. Generally height once gained is not lost, unless there is a fracture of axial or appendicular bones of leg. I would advice you to get a xray of spine and bilateral hips done and get assessed from a orthopaedic surgeon for this.
Hope this helps
