Does parathyroid disease run in families? I just had parathyroid surgery. Do I need to have my kids check their calcium levels?

Hi Dr. Boone, I am so grateful to have come across your website, it has brought me clarity and understanding in a subject very foreign to me. My question is, my sisters have MEN1, I have a genetic appointment in May for my testing. They all have hyperparathyroidism and have had surgery. My calcium level is 9.8 and my doctor said she corrected it due to albumin. My albumin was normal at 4.6 and my calcium was 9.8, this brought it to a 9.3. she tested my PTH at 43.7. She didn't test my vitamin D because she said she didn't feel she needed to. I have horrible bone pain too, but she said she didn't know that. She is sending me for a pituitary MRI due to high prolactin and vision problems. Why would she correct my CA if it didn't need to be corrected? Thank you so much!

Two of my sisters and I all have been diagnosed with primary hyperparathyroidism. I had parathyroid surgery at age 55 (two parathyroid tumors removed), my younger sister at age 58 (three parathyroids removed) and we are realizing my older sister has had it for years. We are now all mid 60's, early 70's. My younger sister who had 3 removed still has issues with the remaining gland...she doesn't know what to do. I believe we probably do have a genetic link and years ago I was told that my ovarian/uterine very early stage cancer at 43 could also be connected to some kind of genetic link to the parathyroid issue...is this the MEN 1 gene and if so where do you go to get tested for that?
