Siding Options. The popular choice out there is vinyl because theyâre cost effective and easy to install and maintain. Some things to consider with vinyl is that the color can fade, and the siding become brittle with time. For homeowners who prefer to go with wood, there is hardwood, cypress, clapboard, wood shingles, and plywood siding.
Digestive System. Elevated PTT results may be caused by malabsorption, a digestive problem that restricts the amount of nutrients that the body absorbs from food, according to the U.S. National Library of Medicine.
Another related condition is called secondary hyperparathyroidism (HPT for short), which is common in patients with chronic kidney disease on dialysis. In secondary HPT, the parathyroid glands make too much parathyroid hormone (PTH) because the kidneys have failed, and the calcium and phosphorus are out of balance. Even though one may not have any symptoms, treating secondary HPT is important.
