About this test

Purpose of the PTH (Intact) Test

Diagnose Parathyroid Issues: Identifies hyperparathyroidism (overactive) or hypoparathyroidism (underactive).
Monitor Kidney Disease: Evaluates mineral metabolism in patients with chronic kidney disease.
Evaluate Calcium/Bone Issues: Used when symptoms of abnormal calcium (weakness, kidney stones, bone pain) are present.
Monitor Treatment: Checks if treatments for parathyroid or calcium disorders are working.

Test Details and Preparation

Sample: Blood sample, typically taken from a vein in the arm.
Fasting: Often recommended to fast (no food or drink) for several hours beforehand, though some guidelines say it is not strictly required.
Biotin Advice: Avoid biotin supplements (vitamin B7) for at least 8 hours prior, as it can affect results.
