- Blood tests to check for calcium, phosphate, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D levels
- Urine tests to check for calcium and phosphate levels
- X-rays to check for bone density
- CT scan or MRI to check for any problems with the parathyroid glands
- Bone biopsy to check for any bone abnormalities
- Genetic testing to check for any mutations that may cause calcium metabolism disorders
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To restore calcium metabolism to a normal level
