What is Parathyroid Hormone (Intact) (PTH)?
Parathyroid Hormone (Intact) is measured as part of a bone & minerals panel. Your PTH is in a healthy range, suggesting balanced calcium regulation.
What does a high Parathyroid Hormone (Intact) mean?
Your PTH is elevated. This often accompanies low vitamin D or kidney issues (the body's attempt to keep calcium up), or less commonly a parathyroid gland problem. It's read together with calcium and vitamin D.
What does a low Parathyroid Hormone (Intact) mean?
Your PTH is low. PTH controls calcium; a low level is interpreted together with your calcium result.
