  3. @alexchangmd @hswapnil I guess I'd call this tertiary hyperparathyroidism, because of the hypercalcaemia. PTH should be suppressed for any other cause of hypercalcaemia, though that isa pathophysiology argument not one I can support with evidence. I think you've done due diligence for now diagnostically. Are you thinking of using bisphosphonate IV or only of hypercalcaemia worsens?

    PS for others to have a chance of seeing and weighing in, which would be great, would value other #nephpearls #kidneyverse opinions, on Mastodon you have to reblog/boost. Unlike the birdsite, there's no algorithm that responds to likes, it just tells the person posting that you liked it.

    Very nice to meet you and what an interesting post!
