The PTH, Intact and Calcium Ionized panel contains 2 tests with 2 biomarkers.
The hormone Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) acts to increase serum calcium and 1-, 25- dihydroxyvitamin D concentrations, while decreasing phosphorus. Cross-reactivity with fragment 7-84 may occur in patients with renal insufficiency. The BioIntact PTH assay is considered the most reliable. Parathyroid function is related to the calcium concentration so both results should be interpreted together.
