Dispersion of physiological concentrations of parathyrine in blood serum influence diurnal rhythm, hourly pulsation, oral load with calcium, exercise, pregnancy, age, and menstrual cycle. There are no sex differences. Medication, resection of a tumor causing hypercalcemia, hypertension, and urolithiasis are the causes of pathophysiological mechanisms that also influence the blood level of parathyrine. Establishing the intact PTH provides sufficient reliability and comparability of the results provided the preanalytic phase is maintained.
