  • 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
  • Prescribe medication to correct abnormal calcium levels
  • Monitor calcium levels in the blood regularly
