Re-establishment of the IPTH reference range in apparently healthy donors: A single centre cross-sectional observational study
Keywords:
Intact Parathyroid Hormone (IPTH), Reference Interval, Healthy Donors, ImmunoassayAbstract
Background: Establishment of reference ranges for intact parathyroid hormone (IPTH) is essential for accurate assessment of parathyroid function. Variability among assay platforms necessitates population- and method-specific reference intervals.
Objective: To estimate the reference range of serum IPTH in apparently healthy donors.
