A PTH level in blood often means that you might have a non-cancerous growth adenoma on a gland. Too much PTH causes calcium levels in your blood to rise too high, which can lead to health problems such as bone thinning and kidney stones.

Dr. Hema Suggests...

Take a CPK Test (Creatine Phosphokinase) Test or Take a MUMPS IgG & IgM (ELISA) Test
