Yes if you are high in calcium with kidney stones & hyperthyroidism you need treatment now! You didn't say where you live so I can't guide you to an endocrinologist. I can only give you general advise. If you live in or near a moderate or large city there should be an endo in the city. If not seek out a medical school nearest & get there right away. This is a serious problem and can destroy your kidneys and can also have a bad effect on your heart. If you have hyperparathyroidism as a cause of your calcium problem, this is usually due to a parathyroid tumor that can be removed. Get to a facility right away & get this fixed. It can be done then maybe your kidneys will improve.
