Know More about PTH (PARATHYROID HORMONE) INTACT
The parathyroid hormone intact-test (PTH) is a blood test that measures the level of parathyroid hormone in your blood. Parathyroid hormone regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in your body. Calcium and phosphorus is essential for healthy bones, nerves and muscles in your body. The test is important when diagnosing parathyroid hormone disorders, overseeing the treatment for parathyroid hormone disorders or other related diseases (chronic kidney disease), especially if calcium is abnormal.
Process
- A small amount of blood is collected from a vein in your arm.
- The area is cleansed, and a needle is inserted to collect some blood.
- The blood sample is sent to a laboratory for analysis.
When to Get Tested
If you have high calcium, low calcium, or unexplained bone issues, your doctor may test you for PTH. PTH is also important in diagnosing parathyroid disorders and keeping track of patients who have undergone parathyroid surgery.
Sample Type
You need to provide a venous blood sample.
Test preparation
You may need to fast for 10 to 12 hours. Follow your doctor's instructions for food and medication before the test, preferably prior to the blood draw.
Understanding Your Results
The results will be evaluated with your calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels. High or low PTH may indicate a problem with your parathyroid glands, kidneys, and/or vitamin D levels that may require additional testing and treatment.
