Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Test
$20.00
Abnormal Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) levels can cause a range of symptoms that affect your overall health. Elevated PTH levels, often linked to hyperparathyroidism, may lead to fatigue, bone pain, kidney stones, excessive thirst, frequent urination, and weakened bones.
Conversely, low PTH levels, seen in hypoparathyroidism, can cause muscle cramps, numbness, tingling, and muscle spasms.
The PTH Test is a blood test that evaluates parathyroid function and helps diagnose hyperparathyroidism or hypoparathyroidism, both of which impact calcium regulation. Symptoms like muscle weakness, fatigue, bone pain, and abnormal calcium levels may prompt this test.
Measuring PTH levels is essential for guiding treatment decisions, restoring calcium balance, and ensuring proper bone and muscle health. Accurate management and interpretation of your results should always involve a healthcare consultation to determine the most effective care plan.
