Hyperparathyroidism & Kidney Disease: The Connection You Need to Know 

Thanks guys, I have learned more from you two in the short time I have been watching you than the last 24 years of seeing my Nephrologist. I really think I need to change that guy out, he is a smart chemist, but I am totally in the dark with him.

Thank you so much for the great job you both have been doing on this RU-vid channel! 👏👏👏👏👏👏

This was a great video. It gives you time to focus on treating yourself to the key nutrients in which the doctor talks about. Instead of getting your parathyroid taken out surgically.

I was also hearing that taken vitamin K2 is something that a lot of folks are missing in their diet and how important it is. Vitamin K2 is responsible for pushing the calcium and regulating the calcium that is inside the bloodstream back to the bones.

Yes! This 6:47 minute video length is ideal. It means you are being concise, to the point, no drawn out mutter. This vid is what I’ll give my time to. If I see a 30 minute RU-vid science lecture, I will pass on it.

The PTH is functioning on magnesium so magnesium is important

I have kidney cysts . Meanwhile I’m being tested for parathyroid . My calcium is 10.6 .

i have hereditary hyperparathyroid, developed gout in my twenties and have had muscle cramps since childhood that have steadily worsened with age. I'm confused about supplementing calcium to prevent bone leaching. I don't eat junk food, work on increasing fiber, mostly plants, a little fish now and again, eggs now and again. I take Mk-7 and vitamin D because I can feel occasional swelling in the kidney area. Recently I ran out of my usual magnesium, which helps with the cramping at night, and instead took a cal-mag. I had horrible muscle cramps that night. Does supplementary calcium exacerbate the cramping? Or does it help keep calcium in the blood so it isn't leached from my bones? I'm an older adult so it is a growing concern. thank you so much! I've been looking and looking for a trusted source to guide me through this mess. Much appreciated!

What if you have good calcium levels but low IPTH. What supplement or steps are needed to increase the IPTH?

Hello from NC

Hi is it possible if someone only has 1 parathyroid can they have a parathyroid of 900

CKD stage 4 creatinine levels 3.25

short to the point vitamin d pth kidneys i have none wish i had something like this i can not have calcium hypo para get muscle cramps etc etc diet

Thank you, thank you, thank you. On one of your previous videos you mentioned that you would be happy to talk to fellow doctors that do not understand or resist the need to consider a plant based diet. How do I make this happen?

👍

My sister had high calcium in blood, followed by high PTH of 324 & mibi scan showing parathyroid adenoma in right inferior gland. It's removed in December 2022 and PTH dropped on Christmas onwards.. but since surgery has excessive tingling and calcium supplements helped which stopped being effective since may 2023.. now Uric acid , vitamin D and gabapin NT combination helped but in June she suddenly got low TSH of 0.03 and high (free/total) T4/T3 for first time in life, with normal anti thyroid antibodies. Uric acid normal again in June though spike of 1.3 happened in may 2023. USG kidney is ok except post covid in 2022 july, UTI happened needing 8 days of hospital care in sept 22, then is when high calcium was first detected, same time transfusion of blood was done as haemoglobin dropped to 7 leading to cardiac excsessive breathlessness. Please guide as endocrinologist and general physician unable to solve but we keep shuttling between them

Excellent explanation. Succinct. No time wasted. THANK YOU! I learned so much in just 6 minutes or so! (Actually, I'm going to have another listen to make sure I retain all the info.)

Wow, great interview!

Very Informative❤❤❤

Great advice

Debt explanation was awesome. You should do more videos pertaining to hyperparathyroidism with that doctor and getting more detail and explaining. I did hear of when you are also low in the mineral boron your parathyroid would be affected.

Thank you so much for this information

So the body proccesses vitD beter through the stomach or the skinn via the sun?????

I have on parathyroid that just a tiny bit larger because I became Vitamin D resistant when doc put me on prescription D 2 for 2 years, so he started me on Calcitriol 1 year ago. I’m seeing a new Doc and getting blood work next month. My question why am I vitamin D resistant? I never get out in the sun since locked down from Covid virus in the country. Also from Oct.- April everyday is dark cloudy cold and days shortened in the north

Therefore if the blood test shows normal range of parathyroid hormone there is no CKD present. Good!!

Plz sir my phosphorus level 4.3 what is kidney problem plz riply

I have high PTH but calcium levels are good and phourous is low. I take D3 vitiams to help lower the PTH. I also have kidney damage due IGA which was caused by the covid vaccine.

My dad has late stage kidney failure, but is doing great. His Dr. Put him on calcitri but it is in a gel cap. We eat Biblically clean. Is there a plant base/ vegi cap of the active V-D?

I have question for you what method can be used for removing polycystic kidney stones?

Hello I'm stage 3 with no food restrictions. I have been taking a high quality whey protien powder as I was not getting enough protein.. my protein daily intake is between 45 to 55 grams. Is it OK for me to use the protein powder
