Parathyroid and Kidney Stones with Addisons Disease

Addisons & Parathyroid/ Stones

My Story With Addisons Disease·Thursday, February 25, 201638 Reads

I have been developing recurrent kidney stones and have had reoccuring kidney infections for almost 20 years. I have been through @ 15 lithotripsys and counting. My thyroid function has always come back normal but my endcrinologist thinks it could be the parathyroid glands that sit atop of the thyroids. They regulate calcium in the body and can cause many other symptoms. So I am currently waiting on getting an approval for a thyroid scan to see, which or if any glands are damaged or have tumors or growths. I am expecting to have results within a month. My endo has talked to me about surgery to remove them already as she is almost certain this is the cause.
