Test results

Following the lovely collection of wee in a pot and blood tests I returned to see my surgeon to get the results. As my PTH had slowly been rising over the past few years I was expecting my calcium levels in my urine to be high but this was not the case.

Instead I learnt that my Vitamin D level is very low, in fact deficient, and that this may be affecting my true calcium level. Deficient enough to mean I may be doing harm to my bones and that it needs raising dramatically.


So not immediate surgery for now just lots of Vitamin D capsules!
