Detailed explanation-1: -Blood tests that measure the hormones T-4 and T-3 and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) can confirm a diagnosis of hyperthyroidism. A high level of T-4 and a low level of TSH is common in people with hyperthyroidism.
Detailed explanation-2: -Familial Hypocalciuric Hypercalcemia Diagnosis If the PTH level is higher than normal, a patient may be dealing with PHPT. If the PTH level is close to normal or in the normal range then FHH should also be considered. PHPT is commonly diagnosed based on elevated calcium & PTH levels.
Detailed explanation-3: -FHH is characterized by hypercalcemia, hypocalciuria, hypermagnesemia, and normal to low levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH).
Detailed explanation-4: -Diagnosis of FHH is suspected by high levels of calcium in the blood, especially when there are no other symptoms present. Further blood and urine tests may be used to rule out other possible causes. Genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis of FHH, except in rare autoimmune cases.
