Information, Symptoms, Treatments and Resources
What is PTH?
PTH stands for parathyroid hormone. It is a protein hormone released by the parathyroid gland. PTH is the most important regulator of the body's calcium and phosphorus levels.
Release of PTH is controlled by the level of calcium in the blood. Low blood calcium levels cause increased PTH to be released, while high blood calcium levels inhibit PTH release.
A laboratory test can be done to measure the amount of PTH in your blood.
Alternative Names:
Parathormone; Parathormone (PTH) intact molecule; Parathyroid hormone
