Two endocrine glands responsible for the maintenance of serum calcuim?
The thyroid releases calcitonin which is responsible for decreasing serum calcium levels and the parathyroid glands release PTH and are responsible for increasing serum calcium
What diseases cause a high calcium but normal PTH level?
possibly hyperparathyroidism. you can see this info on www.parathyroid.com hope this helps out some
What is the intact PTH assay used for?
The assay for intact PTH and the N-terminal fragment, which are both measured at the same time, is more accurate in detecting sudden changes in the PTH level. For this reason, the N-terminal PTH assay is used to monitor a patient's response to therapy.
A hormone secreted by the parathyroid that raises blood calcium?
The parathyroid glands are responsible for monitoring the calcium level in the blood. When the calcium level is too low, the parathyroids produce parathyroid hormone (PTH) to increase the calcium level in our blood.
Compare and contrast the role of PTH hormone and mechanical forces acting on the skeleton?
both PTH and mechanical forces work together in bone remodeling. PTH determines when or if bone is to be broken down or formed. Once the PTH determines this then the mechanisms ( osteoblasts and osteoclasts) will begin to build or destroy in bone remodeling :) hope this helps!
What is the normal level of PTH in the blood?
15 to 65 pq / mL
What is the relation of PTH and urinary calcium level?
PTH is released when the body senses low serum calcium levels. PTH does everything in its power to increase serum calcium- it rips it from bone, increases its absorption from food, increases VIT D production (which also aids calcium absorption) and reduces its excretion from the body in urine. It therefore reduces urinary calcium.Above it was stated that PTH increases vit D production.This is wrong. Exposure of the skin to sunlight when the angle isn't too low and certain foods and supplements increase vit D. When serum calcium is low, PTH is sent by the parathyroids to signal vitamin D to activate itself and enable calcium absorption. When there is sufficient dietary calcium and vitamin D, serum calcium rises appropriately, and PTH is then decreased. When there is not enough dietary calcium and vitamin D, PTH can't get the calcium it needs. PTH then goes to the kidneys to look for temporarily stored calcium. If there isn't enough there, it goes to the bone to get the calcium there. Urinary calcium is from excess calcium that is absorbed into the blood with help from vitamin D (and thyroid) or absorbed when the bone is broken down. I learned that when urinary calcium is very high (above 300), PTH is high, but serum calcium is normal, this may indicate primary hyperparathryoidism even if serum calcium is normal. Good luck finding a doctor who will look further into primary hyperparathyroidism for patients without high serum calcium, regardless of high PTH and high urine calcium.

What color tube do they use for pth level?
lavendar
What does PTH level of 75 mean?
I have a level of 78.8 fsh level. what does that mean?

What is the hormone whose production in inadequate amounts results in tetany?
excess calcitonin or decreased parathormone
How do parathryoid glands maintain adequate levels of calcium?
Parathyroid gland secrete parathyroid hormone called PTH. PTH regulates calcium level in the body by transferring calcium from the bone and when body has excess calcium, PTH helps them to deposit into the bone.
What does pth mean in texting?
PTH
What is the hormone antagonists of pth?
Calcitonin is an antagonist to PTH C cells increase calcitonin secretion due to high blood Ca levels PTH is secreted due to decrease in Ca level in blood Calcitonin allows osteoclasts to increase bone resorption when blood Ca level decreases.
