High Calcium casued by Hyperparathyroidism ….

This disease is much more common than people think and is overlooked by many doctors.

It affects 1 in 100 people, manily females between age 40-65.

Long term high calcium can have serious effects on the bones, kidneys, pancreas and even brain.

The illustration shows the direct effects high calcium has on organs.

*** A HIGH CALCIUM IS ALWAYS AN INDICATION OF DISEASE ***

High Calcium is caused in 90% of cases by an enlarged tiny one of four (or rarely 2 or 3) glands behind your thyroid, these are called the Parathyroid glands.

This is a SURGICAL DISEASE and can ONLY be cured by removing the enlarged parathyroid gland.

Dr Al-Askari has huge experience in this procedure and has performed hundreds.

There are no other surgeons in the CQ region who do parathyroid surgery.

Dr Al-Askari does the State of the Art “MIP” or Minimally Invasive Parathyroidectomy through a tiny 2 cm incision. Most patients go home the same day.

So if you have beet told you have “high calcium” then come see us !
