PTH Results

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone that was interested i n PTH info.

I had a high PTH of 95 and my calcium and D and everything else was normal. I

saw a endroconologist(sp) yesterday and she said that she reserached my

medication and the medication I have been on in the past. first Gleevec, then

Sprycel now Tasigna. she said that there is information on Gleevec and sprycel

that says these medications are known to show a false reading in PTH's and since

everything else was normal she wanted to just watch it. She did say she wanted

to do a 24 hour urine test on me so we will do tht next week. She said she could

not find the same information with Tasigna but being as it is the same kind of

medication she was almost sure it was also doing a false reading. I have no

other symptoms to speak of to indicate a high PTH.

So we are going to watch my calcium levels very carefully and go from there..

Just wanted to inform all of you that answered my posts on my high PTH.

She also indicated from my last bone scan that I do not have osteoporosis (sp) (

I am a bad speller)...My bones seem to be strong.

thanks for your interest.
