hi all,
one of my endos wants me to take calcitriol since my PTH is high, wondering what experiences you all have out there. I know it is a balancing act with Vit D, CA, Mg etc. Would like to get some suggestions, I would prefer not to take the calcitriol and wondering if I should first try to increase my vit D to get it about 75 or so? I had increased my CA citrate to 3780 mg/day (12 pills/day) for 2 weeks, and the endo tested in 2014 and it didnt change the PTH. but with the same range I have now my PTH was normal (2013 normal PTH, vit D little high, 2012 normal PTH, vit D about the same as now, 2011 normal PTH, vit D about the same as now) My I am going to post some my labowork results for various year, I think 4 years will be suficient, with reference ranges ( ) any insight? suggestions? thanks for taking the time to help me sort this out.
