# Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) Plus Calcium

> This test measures the levels of Parathyroid Hormone (PTH) and calcium in your blood to evaluate how well your body regulates these essential minerals. It helps determine if the parathyroid glands in your neck are functioning properly, which is important for investigating symptoms like fatigue, bone pain, or kidney stones. By comparing these two levels, doctors can distinguish between parathyroid gland disorders and other causes of abnormal calcium, such as kidney issues or vitamin deficiencies. However, this test cannot pinpoint the exact location of a gland abnormality or diagnose specific bone diseases on its own.
