A single-marker blood test for intact parathyroid hormone (PTH), commonly used to help assess parathyroid gland function and calcium regulation. Requires an in-person clinic visit.
1 biomarker as listed by Medichecks.
This test measures a single marker, intact parathyroid hormone (PTH). PTH is commonly used to help assess parathyroid gland function and its role in regulating calcium, phosphate and vitamin D levels, which matter for bone and muscle health.
We do not have a comparison group of similar tests to benchmark this one against directly, so its price and depth are considered on their own terms here rather than against named peers.
The value-for-money score is low because £149 is well above the £47.13 median of the 16 similarly sized thyroid tests we track, and clinical depth scores modestly because a single marker sits in the bottom tenth of thyroid tests by marker count. It scores well for trust signals, reflecting Medichecks' Trustpilot rating and accredited partner labs, and for results and follow-up, since every result is reviewed by a doctor. Collection convenience scores lower because the sample must be given in person at a clinic and cannot be posted.
This suits people who have been advised to check parathyroid hormone specifically, for example alongside a calcium imbalance or bone health concern, and who can get to Medichecks' partner clinic in London for the blood draw, since the sample is not suitable for posting. It will not suit anyone looking for a wider hormone or bone-health panel in a single test, or anyone who needs a fully at-home kit.
We do not track a comparable single-marker PTH test from another provider to suggest as a cheaper or more convenient alternative.
You need to visit Medichecks' partner clinic (Inuvi Clinic in London) in person for a venous blood draw, as the sample for this test is not suitable for posting. Medichecks states results are returned within 3 days, with a doctor's comment included as standard.
