Parathyroid disease and kidney stones

Parathyroid disease causes high blood calcium levels

In many patients the kidneys will attempt to clear the excess calcium and this can result in stones forming within the urinary tract system resulting in pain and occasionally damaging the kidneys.

Patients with kidney stones should have calicum levels checked and if they have had stones more than once should in addition have a 24 hours urine collection for calcium levels.

Patients with kidney stones due to parathyroid disease should almost always have parathyroid surgery
