Not followed up
for your reviewCalcium 10.6 to 10.9 on five draws over three years, phosphorus low each time. PTH has never been measured.
Fits primary hyperparathyroidism. Stones, bone loss, thirst and mood all sit on the same line.
Bone loss is worst at the distal radius (T −3.1), not the spine.
The pattern that goes with high PTH, not with age alone.
Urology asked for a “metabolic workup per PCP” in March 2023. No matching order anywhere in the record.
Alendronate started without the cause of bone loss being named.
