Standard PTH levels for a person on hemodialysis range between 150 pg/mL and 300 pg/mL.

And remember, too low a PTH (less than 100 pg/ml [11.0 pmol/L) is not good either-- for it can lead to Adynamic Bone Disease.

Mine was over 100. I don't remember what is was exactly. I am so achy right now. How are all of you dealing with the pain?

At the rate of speed and the amount mine is increasing, I'll be over 300 in no time.

I got a call today that my calcium is elevated. I guess my parathyroid is not under control. It was normal the last week of Feb.
