Overview
The PTH test measures the level of parathyroid hormone in the blood. It is used to help diagnose and monitor conditions related to the parathyroid glands, such as hyperparathyroidism and hypoparathyroidism. The test is performed by taking a blood sample from a vein in the arm, which is then sent to a laboratory for analysis. Results of the test can help guide treatment decisions for patients.
Who should do this test?
Patients with chronic kidney disease: Chronic kidney disease can cause an imbalance in calcium and phosphorus levels, which can, in turn, affect parathyroid hormone levels. Therefore, PTH testing is necessary to monitor the levels of PTH in such patients.
Patients with osteoporosis: Osteoporosis is a condition characterized by low bone mass and increased risk of fractures. PTH testing can help diagnose the underlying cause of osteoporosis and monitor the response to treatment.
Patients with hyperparathyroidism: Hyperparathyroidism is a condition characterized by excessive production of PTH by the parathyroid glands. PTH testing is essential in diagnosing and monitoring the treatment of hyperparathyroidism.
What to do if the test is abnormal?
Consult with a healthcare provider: If the result of the PTH test is abnormal, the first step is to consult with a healthcare provider who can interpret the results and recommend further testing or treatment.
Further testing: If the PTH test indicates abnormal levels of the hormone, further testing may be recommended to determine the underlying cause. This may include additional blood tests, imaging studies, or a bone density test.
Treatment: Treatment options for abnormal levels of PTH depend on the underlying cause. For example, if the levels are high due to a parathyroid gland tumor, surgical removal of the gland may be necessary. Alternatively, if the levels are low due to vitamin D deficiency, treatment may involve vitamin D supplementation.
