Remedies For Hyperparathyroidism

Monitor Dietary Calcium And Vitamin D

If the patient's calcium levels show only a slight elevation, the kidneys are functioning normally, there aren't any kidney stones, the patient's bone density is normal or almost-normal, and there are no other symptoms, doctors might recommend monitoring hyperparathyroidism without treating it in other ways. Patients who monitor their condition will need to have periodic tests to monitor their bone density and blood calcium.

Patients should pay attention to the vitamin D and calcium in their diet. Medical professionals recommend consuming the daily recommended amount of calcium to encourage the parathyroid glands to stop secreting excess parathyroid hormone. Adults from nineteen to fifty years old and men from fifty-one to seventy years old are recommended one thousand milligrams a day, while women over fifty and men over seventy-one are recommended to get 1,200 milligrams a day. Individuals should talk to their doctor about what dietary approach is best for their needs.
