PTH is a hormone secreted by the tiny glands behind the thyroid and plays a key role in regulating calcium and phosphate levels in your blood—especially important for bone and kidney health.
This test measures serum PTH to help evaluate conditions like primary, secondary, or tertiary hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, and to monitor renal osteodystrophy in chronic kidney disease.
