# Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), Intact

> This test measures the level of parathyroid hormone (PTH) in your blood, a chemical that controls the amount of calcium in your body. It helps show whether abnormal calcium levels are caused by overactive or underactive parathyroid glands rather than other issues like kidney disease or vitamin D deficiency.
