Intact PTH Price in Bangladesh

What is Intact PTH?

Intact parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a blood test measuring the level of PTH in the bloodstream, produced by the parathyroid glands. It helps regulate calcium, phosphorus, and vitamin D levels, playing a key role in bone health.

The test diagnoses conditions like hyperparathyroidism, hypoparathyroidism, and disorders affecting calcium balance. Preparation involves fasting and avoiding certain medications if advised by a doctor.

Blood is drawn from a vein, usually in the arm. Risks are minimal, including slight pain or bruising at the puncture site.

Results are interpreted alongside calcium levels: high PTH suggests hyperparathyroidism or kidney issues, while low levels may indicate hypoparathyroidism or other metabolic conditions.

What to expect & how to prepare

Intact PTH is performed at a diagnostic centre or hospital lab. A trained technician collects the required sample (commonly a blood draw, urine sample, swab or an imaging scan, depending on the test) and sends it to the lab for analysis. Most routine tests take only a few minutes to sample, with reports typically ready the same day or within 24–48 hours.

• Fasting: some tests require 8–12 hours of fasting (water is usually allowed). Ask the centre when you book.
• Medication: tell the lab about any medicines or supplements you take, as some can affect results.
• Timing: certain hormone and biochemistry tests are best done in the morning — confirm the recommended time.
• Report: always have a registered doctor interpret your Intact PTH result rather than self-diagnosing.
