Test Overview & Methodology

The PTHrP assay is a specialized immunoassay that quantifies parathyroid hormone-related protein, a key mediator of humoral hypercalcemia of malignancy. Ordered by endocrinologists and oncologists, this test helps distinguish cancer-driven calcium elevations from parathyroid gland disease, guiding urgent oncological or metabolic interventions.

Physician Insight & Safety Protocols

“Clinically, an elevated PTHrP demands immediate correlation with imaging and oncology workup because it strongly suggests an underlying malignancy. Patients should not discontinue any prescribed medication without consulting their doctor. If acute confusion, intractable nausea, or severe bone pain develops, emergency care should be sought without delay.” – Mr. Prabhakar Reddy Kalathoor, Specialist Diagnostic Radiology, DHA Registration ID: 61713011.
