Hyperparathyroidism
Disease Information
Tests
How can doctors tell if my child has hyperparathyroidism?
In addition to a complete medical history and physical examination, diagnostic procedures for hyperparathyroidism may include:
- bone x-rays - a diagnostic test which uses invisible electromagnetic energy beams to produce images of internal tissues, bones and organs onto film.
- laboratory tests (to measure calcium, parathyroid hormone, vitamin D and phosphorous levels)
