What is PTH (PARATHYROID HORMONE) INTACT?

The PTH (Parathyroid Hormone) Intact test measures the level of parathyroid hormone in your blood. PTH plays a vital role in regulating calcium and phosphate levels, which are essential for bone health and nerve function. This test helps evaluate parathyroid gland function.

Why is this test important?

This test is crucial for diagnosing and monitoring conditions related to calcium imbalances, such as hyperparathyroidism or hypoparathyroidism. It helps identify the cause of abnormal calcium levels and guides treatment for bone disorders and kidney disease.

Fasting for 8-12 hours may be required. Please confirm with your healthcare provider.
