Overview
About This Test
Your parathyroid glands produce PTH, a hormone that helps keep your blood calcium levels within a healthy range by adjusting how much calcium your body absorbs, releases from bone, and reabsorbs through your kidneys. This test checks whether your PTH level is responding appropriately, which can help evaluate parathyroid gland function, investigate unexplained calcium abnormalities, or assess bone health.
