Hi folks, As a kidney patient who is waiting for a 2nd transplant, i needed to have a parathyroidectomy where they removed 3 out of 4 parathyroid glands, and that surgery was successful, but i ended up with hungry bones syndrome, meaning that my calcium is going to all my bones and not to the rest of my body equally. so ive been on a boatload of calcitrol an ox-cal for the foreseeable future. whats weird is my phosphorus which was high (running around 8-9 sometimes 10 now since surgery its down to 1.8, Has anyone had that happen before?
