Intact parathyroid hormone assay is superior to mid region assay in the EDTA-infusion test in hyperparathyroidism
(1991) In Clinica Chimica Acta 197(3). p.35-229- Abstract
We examined the use of an intact parathyroid hormone two-site immunoradiometric assay compared with a mid region parathyroid hormone radioimmunoassay in ethylene diamine tetraacetic acid-infusion test in 15 patients with hyperparathyroidism. During the test, plasma intact parathyroid hormone levels increased by 240 +/- 43%, whereas the plasma levels of mid molecule parathyroid hormone increased by only 65 +/- 17%, which is significantly lower (P less than 0.01). Four patients had no increase in plasma mid molecule parathyroid hormone level but still a large increase in plasma intact parathyroid hormone level (P less than 0.01). Thus, plasma measurement of intact parathyroid hormone is superior to that of mid molecule parathyroid hormone... (More)
