Patient Education Materials
Osteoporosis and kidney stones can often be the result of lifestyle choices. There are times, however, when these medical issues are symptoms of a greater mineral disorder — such as parathyroid disease or disorders of calcium or phosphorus metabolism.
The UT Southwestern Mineral Metabolism clinical practice is a nationwide leader in the diagnosis and treatment of mineral disorders. Our experienced physicians are leaders in their field, performing groundbreaking research while providing attentive, compassionate care.
UT Southwestern’s state-of-the-art facility and resources ensure patients receive superior medical treatment, often not available at other health-care institutions. Our physicians apply minimally invasive techniques to patients who require surgery. Their technical expertise ensures the best results possible for surgical candidates.
Patients in UT Southwestern’s clinical trials program receive therapies years before they become available to the public. Patients should ask their doctor if they are candidates for some of these pioneering therapies.
The full range of diagnostic and therapeutic techniques for the treatment of mineral disorders is available at the UT Southwestern campus, enabling patients to obtain their consultations, examinations and treatments in a single location.
