Calcitonin Test in Pune — Frequently Asked Questions
What is Calcitonin Test and what does the test check for?
The Calcitonin Test measures the level of calcitonin hormone in your blood. Calcitonin is produced by special C-cells in your thyroid gland and helps regulate calcium levels in your body. This test primarily screens for medullary thyroid carcinoma, a rare but serious type of thyroid cancer.
Why is the Calcitonin Test important?
This test is crucial for early detection of medullary thyroid carcinoma, which can be successfully treated when caught early. It's also valuable for monitoring people with genetic conditions like Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia type 2 (MEN2). The test helps doctors identify thyroid problems before they become more serious and harder to treat.
Who should get the Calcitonin Test?
You should consider this test if you experience unexplained numbness or tingling in your hands and feet, or persistent depression without clear cause. It's particularly recommended for adults with a family history of thyroid cancer, those with genetic conditions affecting multiple glands, or people with suspicious thyroid nodules found during other examinations.
What do high and low values mean?
Normal calcitonin levels are 0.0-11.5 pg/mL for both men and women. High levels may indicate medullary thyroid carcinoma or other conditions like primary hyperparathyroidism. Very high levels often suggest advanced thyroid cancer that may have spread. Low levels are generally not concerning and indicate normal thyroid C-cell function.
Should I get other tests along with Calcitonin?
Your doctor may recommend additional tests like thyroid ultrasound, CEA (carcinoembryonic antigen), or genetic testing if your calcitonin levels are elevated. These help confirm the diagnosis and determine the extent of any thyroid problems. Sometimes calcium and parathyroid hormone tests are also done to get a complete picture of your hormone balance.
Do I need to fast before the Calcitonin Test?
No. Fasting is not required for the Calcitonin Test. You can give your sample at any time of day at our Pune lab or during home collection.
