Parathyroid hormone, intact (PTH) (Serum, frozen (s))

Specimens: 1 ml Serum, frozen (s)
Preanalytics/Notes:

Preferred material. If transported to the laboratory on the same day, EDTA blood can be dispatched unfrozen. If same-day transport to the laboratory is not guaranteed, freeze EDTA plasma and dispatch deep-frozen. Due to circadian fluctuations, blood sampling in the morning in fasted state (approx. 12 hours of fasting).

Patients receiving high doses of biotin (> 5 mg / day) should be sampled at least 8 hours after the last application, as high levels of biotin may interfere with the test system.
