This blood test measures Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) levels. Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) is secreted by the parathyroid glands in response to a decrease in serum calcium levels by increasing the reabsorption of calcium by the kidneys and lowering the absorption of phosphorus.
Parathyroid hormone regulates the concentration of calcium and phosphorus in the blood and helps in the synthesis of Vitamin D. PTH is useful identifying and managing hypercalcemia.
Test Preparation For Optimal Results:
If possible, have the lab collected early in the morning or shortly after waking. For comparison purposes, have subsequent labs collected close to the same time.
Disclaimer: Your health care provider should evaluate a deviation from normal ranges.
This blood test measures Glutathione levels. Glutathione is a tripeptide made of glycine, glutamate and cysteine. Glutathione is the most abundant and important intracellular antioxidant (prevents oxidative damage).

This blood test is used to monitor exposure to benzene. Benzene is an organic compound that is found in nature and is also manmade. Natural sources of benzene are volcanoes and forest fires. Benzene is also a natural component of crude oil and cigarette smoke and is one of the most basic petrochemicals used in the production of gasoline. Benzene has been described as having a sweet odor. It evaporates very quickly when exposed to air and dissolves quickly in water.
