    What is Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test?

    The Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) test checks the parathyroid hormone (PTH) level in blood. PTH is produced by the parathyroid glands—four tiny, pea-sized glands located in your neck. The PTH hormone acts as a messenger in the bloodstream, guiding certain cells or organs to perform specific actions. PTH’s main role is to control calcium levels in the blood. Calcium is essential for the healthy functioning of the muscles, nerves, and heart. When your blood calcium levels are too low, the parathyroid glands release PTH to restore calcium balance. PTH raises blood calcium by prompting bones to release stored calcium into the bloodstream, enhancing the intestines' ability to absorb calcium from food, and assisting the kidneys in conserving calcium, preventing its loss through urine. Once blood calcium levels return to normal, the parathyroid glands reduce PTH production, and blood PTH levels drop.

    With the Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test in Bangalore, you can now assess your parathyroid function and understand how well your body manages calcium levels. This information is essential for identifying any potential imbalances that may affect your bone health or kidney function.

    Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test Parameters

    The PTH test measures only one parameter: parathyroid hormone levels in blood. PTH levels are primarily regulated by a feedback loop between blood calcium levels and the parathyroid glands. When blood calcium levels are low, the parathyroid glands release more PTH to increase calcium. Conversely, when blood calcium levels are high, PTH release decreases. However, certain problems with the parathyroid glands, like a tumour or gland damage, can disrupt this balance. In these cases, the glands may produce too much or too little PTH, regardless of blood calcium levels.

    Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test Preparation

    Here are a few tips to consider before getting a PTH test:

    • Prerequisites: No fasting is required before getting a PTH test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: You can take this test any time of the day.

    • Who Should Get a Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test: A PTH test is recommended when you have symptoms of high or low calcium or if you have a chronic kidney disease or parathyroid disorder.

    • Cautions Before Taking a Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test: No special precautions are required before undergoing this test. Your doctor will inform you if there are any additional requirements.

    Why Take the Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test?

    A PTH test is needed to:

    • Identify Parathyroid Disorders: It is commonly used to determine if parathyroid disorders are causing abnormal blood calcium levels.

    • Evaluate Abnormal Calcium Levels: A PTH test may be necessary if you have symptoms of abnormal calcium levels in blood. Symptoms of high calcium include:

    • Constipation

    • Nausea

    • Vomiting and abdominal pain

    • Loss of appetite

    • Increased thirst

    • Frequent urination

    • Kidney stones

    • Bone, joint, and muscle weakness or pain

    • Changes in mental health, such as depression or confusion

    • Fatigue

    Symptoms of low calcium include:

    • Dry skin

    • Coarse hair

    • Brittle nails

    • Muscle cramps

    • Spasms or stiffness

    • Tingling in the lips tongue, fingers, or feet

    • Irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia)

    • In extreme cases, seizures.

    • Investigate Phosphate Levels: Investigate the cause of unusually low results on a phosphate blood test, as PTH also regulates phosphate levels in the blood.

    • Monitor Ongoing Disease: Monitor individuals diagnosed with chronic kidney disease or parathyroid hormone disorder.

    • Assess Osteoporosis: Identify the cause of severe osteoporosis, a condition that weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures.

    • Evaluate Treatment Effectiveness: Evaluate the effectiveness of treatment for a known parathyroid disorder.

    • Verify Surgical Outcomes: Verify that all overactive parathyroid tissue has been removed during surgery for conditions that lead to excessive PTH production.
