Purpose:
The Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) test measures the level of intact parathyroid hormone in your blood. iPTH is produced by the parathyroid glands and plays a critical role in regulating calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels in the blood and bones. This test helps in diagnosing and monitoring conditions such as hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, kidney disease, and calcium imbalances.
Components Measured:
- Intact Parathyroid Hormone (iPTH) Levels: Measures the concentration of the parathyroid hormone to assess calcium regulation and parathyroid gland function.
Sample Type:
Blood sample (serum).
Fasting Requirements:
Fasting is not required for the iPTH test. However, your healthcare provider may give you specific instructions depending on the context of the test.
Preparation:
- Medications: Inform your healthcare provider about any medications, supplements, or calcium/vitamin D treatments you're taking, as they may affect PTH levels.
- Health History: Share any history of kidney disease, bone disorders, or calcium abnormalities with your healthcare provider, as these conditions can influence iPTH levels.
Collection Method:
A blood sample is drawn from a vein in your arm using a sterile needle.
