1. Can I have an abnormal PTH level without having symptoms?
Yes, if your
calcium level changes slowly, you may not have any noticeable symptoms. In this case, the imbalance will most likely be detected by finding an abnormal calcium level during a regular health check, then checking your PTH level.

2. What does vitamin D have to do with PTH?
If you do not have enough
vitamin D, your body will not be able to absorb calcium properly. Vitamin D regulates the intestinal absorption of calcium, while PTH regulates the activation of vitamin D. Too much and too little vitamin D can imbalance calcium
metabolism.
