Intact-PTH-Parathyroid Hormone

What is the Intact-PTH-Parathyroid Hormone Test?

iPTH stands for intact parathyroid hormone, and it is a blood test that analyses the quantity of intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) present in the body. When PTH is present in the blood and bones, it helps control calcium, Vitamin D, and phosphorus levels in the body.

It determines the reason for an abnormal calcium increase or decrease. A parathyroid malfunction can produce these symptoms, as might other organs and lifestyle variables. iPTH is a fantastic way to track your parathyroid treatment's effectiveness.

iPTH normal varies from 14.00 to 72.00 pg/ml. A rise in PTH Intact levels indicates kidney injury, while a fall in iPTH levels indicates hypoparathyroidism (low parathyroid hormone) or an overdose of vitamin D or calcium.

Why done? 

The Intact Parathyroid Hormone Test is done:

• To find out why calcium levels are abnormal.
