Would you recommend initiation of cinacalcet in a patient with hypercalcemia and recurrent nephrolithiasis attributed to an atypical presentation of familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia?

I would really like to know the level of the patient’s parathyroid hormone. If it is low, cinacalcet would probably not be helpful.
