    What is Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test?

    The Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) test measures the level of PTH in the bloodstream. PTH is a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands, which are four small, pea-sized glands located in the neck. These glands release PTH into the blood, where it acts as a messenger that directs certain cells and organs to take specific actions. The primary role of PTH is to control calcium levels in the blood, which is essential for proper muscle, nerve, and heart function. When calcium levels in the blood drop too low, the parathyroid glands release more PTH to restore the balance. PTH increases blood calcium levels by signalling the bones to release calcium, improving the intestines' ability to absorb calcium from food, and helping the kidneys retain calcium to prevent its loss through urine. Once calcium levels normalise, the parathyroid glands reduce PTH production.

    This Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) test in Hyderabad helps evaluate how well your body maintains calcium balance, providing valuable information about your bone health and kidney function. Identifying any imbalance in PTH levels can help detect underlying health problems and guide appropriate treatment.

    Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test Parameters

    The Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) test checks one parameter: the amount of parathyroid hormone present in the blood. PTH secretion is mainly governed by a feedback loop involving blood calcium levels and the parathyroid glands. When calcium levels in the blood fall, the parathyroid glands respond by releasing more PTH to help elevate calcium levels. When blood calcium levels are sufficiently high, PTH secretion decreases. However, certain conditions, such as parathyroid tumours or glandular damage, can impair this system. As a result, the parathyroid glands may produce abnormal amounts of PTH, irrespective of the blood calcium levels.

    Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) - Intact Test Preparation

    Here are some essential tips to keep in mind before undergoing a PTH test:

    • Prerequisites: There is no requirement for fasting before having a PTH test.

    • Best Time to Get Tested: This test can be taken at any time during the day.

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

    • Cautions Before Taking a Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test: No special precautions are necessary before this test. However, your doctor will inform you if there are any additional instructions to follow.

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