Understanding PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) in Rangareddy

What is PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) in Rangareddy?

A PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) test assesses the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood. Produced by the parathyroid glands, the four small glands located near the thyroid gland in the neck, PTH plays an important role in regulating the levels of calcium and phosphorus in the body. This test helps evaluate parathyroid gland function and primarily diagnose conditions related to calcium imbalance. It is available at an affordable price in Rangareddy with Tata 1mg.

Understanding PTH levels can provide valuable insights into bone health, kidney function, and disorders related to mineral metabolism. Regular monitoring of PTH levels is essential for individuals with conditions affecting calcium homeostasis and those at risk of bone disorders or kidney problems. Additionally, this test can be done when individuals exhibit symptoms suggestive of calcium and phosphorus imbalance, such as persistent bone pain, impaired kidney function, long-term digestive problems, pain or discomfort in joints, muscle weakness, etc.

Overnight fasting for at least 8-12 hours is needed before undertaking a PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) test. However, drinking water before the test is acceptable. PTH is released in a rhythmic pattern, with increased levels during the night; therefore, you may need to take the test at a certain time of day. 

What does PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) measure?

A PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) test measures the levels of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in the blood. PTH regulates calcium and phosphorus levels in the body. PTH levels are regulated by a feedback loop with calcium in the blood. Low calcium stimulates PTH release, and high calcium inhibits it. Problems like tumors or damage to the parathyroid glands can disrupt this balance, leading to abnormal PTH levels.

Monitoring of PTH levels is important in managing disorders affecting bone and mineral metabolism, and a PTH (Intact Parathyroid Hormone) test helps assess the function of parathyroid glands and diagnose conditions related to calcium and phosphorus imbalance.
