PTHrP PARATHYROID HORMONE RELATED PROTEIN Test
At DNA Labs UAE, we offer the PTHrP PARATHYROID HORMONE RELATED PROTEIN test for only 2310.0 AED. This test helps diagnose and monitor various conditions, including hypercalcemia, certain types of cancer, and bone metabolism disorders.
Test Details
The PTHrP (parathyroid hormone-related protein) test measures the levels of PTHrP in the blood. PTHrP is a hormone similar to parathyroid hormone and is produced by various tissues in the body, including the parathyroid glands and certain cancer cells.
The PTHrP test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor conditions such as hypercalcemia, certain types of cancer (lung, breast, prostate), and bone metabolism disorders. High levels of PTHrP in the blood may indicate the presence of a tumor producing PTHrP, leading to hypercalcemia. This test can aid in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain types of cancer.
Additionally, the PTHrP test can help differentiate between primary hyperparathyroidism and hypercalcemia due to other causes. It is typically performed on a blood sample obtained from a vein in the arm.
Pre Test Information
A duly filled Test Send Out Consent Form is mandatory before undergoing the PTHrP test.

| Test Details | The PTHrP (parathyroid hormone-related protein) test is a blood test that measures the levels of PTHrP in the blood. PTHrP is a hormone that is similar in structure and function to parathyroid hormone (PTH). It is produced by various tissues in the body, including the parathyroid glands, certain cancer cells, and other tissues. The PTHrP test is primarily used to diagnose and monitor certain conditions, including hypercalcemia (high levels of calcium in the blood), certain types of cancer (such as lung cancer, breast cancer, and prostate cancer), and conditions that affect bone metabolism. High levels of PTHrP in the blood may indicate the presence of a tumor that is producing PTHrP, which can lead to hypercalcemia. This can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of certain types of cancer. Additionally, the PTHrP test can also be used to differentiate between primary hyperparathyroidism (excessive production of PTH by the parathyroid glands) and hypercalcemia due to other causes. The PTHrP test is typically performed on a blood sample obtained from a vein in the arm. It is important to follow any specific instructions provided by the healthcare provider, such as fasting before the test or stopping certain medications that may interfere with the results. Interpretation of the PTHrP test results should be done in conjunction with other clinical findings and additional tests, as the levels of PTHrP can vary depending on the underlying condition. It is important to consult with a healthcare provider for proper evaluation and interpretation of the test results. |
