TY - JOUR AU - Cavalier, Etienne PY - 2019 TI - Parathyroid hormone results interpretation in the background of variable analytical performance JF - Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine; Vol 4 (January 2019): Journal of Laboratory and Precision Medicine Y2 - 2019 KW - N2 - Parathyroid hormone (PTH) determination is a difficult task. In this paper, we highlight the importance of PTH standardization and the impact of establishing robust reference ranges for the accurate interpretation of PTH results. We also discuss the biological variation of PTH and its impact on the calculation of least significant change (LSC) and on targets for analytical validation of the methods. Finally, we look at the different fragments and forms of PTH that are important in clinical practice. UR - https://jlpm.amegroups.org/article/view/4651
