Description
The PTH, Intact Test measures the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood, a hormone produced by the parathyroid glands that is essential for regulating calcium and phosphate balance. PTH plays a vital role in bone health, muscle function, and nerve activity.
Why This Test is Important:
-
Detects parathyroid disorders, including hyperparathyroidism (overactive glands) and hypoparathyroidism (underactive glands).
-
Evaluates calcium and phosphate imbalances, which can affect bone density and metabolic health.
-
Monitors kidney disease patients, since PTH levels impact mineral metabolism.
-
Supports diagnosis of conditions related to bone health, calcium regulation, or endocrine disorders.
Convenient Testing Options:
No doctorโs visit required! Testing is available at home or at our Patient Service Center (PSC) in Central Florida. Nationwide testing services are also offered for individuals outside Central Florida, ensuring easy access to your results wherever you are.
