Accepted Answer

understand your concern about the high total blood protein level (8.6) and the potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.

_Hyperparathyroidism and High Calcium_

1. Elevated calcium levels can be a sign of hyperparathyroidism, which your doctor suspects.
2. High calcium levels can also contribute to kidney stone formation, osteoporosis, and other complications.

_High Total Blood Protein_

1. Total protein levels above 8.5 gdL can indicate an underlying condition, such as:
    - Dehydration
    - Liver or kidney disease
    - Inflammatory conditions (e.g., rheumatoid arthritis)
    - Plasma cell dyscrasias (e.g., multiple myeloma)
2. Your doctor's lack of concern might be due to the mild elevation in protein levels or the presence of other symptoms that point more strongly towards hyperparathyroidism.

_Next Steps_

1. _Follow up with the specialist_: Discuss your high calcium levels and potential hyperparathyroidism diagnosis.
2. _Request a protein electrophoresis test_: This test can help identify the type of protein elevation and its underlying cause.
3. _Monitor your protein levels_: Schedule follow-up appointments to track your protein levels and adjust your treatment plan as needed.

Question 3

I'm 34 weeks pregnant and getting really excited to meet my baby. Ive been thinking a lot about whether it's a boy or a girl, and while Im happy either way, I'm curious about something I heard. Is it true that you can predict a babys gender based on their heart rate?

Accepted Answer

As a doctor, I can reassure you that there is no scientific evidence to support the idea that a baby's heart rate can predict its gender. While some myths suggest a higher heart rate indicates a girl and a lower one a boy, it's just thatmyths. The heart rate varies for many reasons and isn't linked to gender. Just focus on enjoying your pregnancy, and your baby's health is what matters most!
