Evaluation of the intact hormone assay in the study of parathyroid autograft function. 1985

E C Wijeyesinghe, and A J Parnham, and J R Farndon, and R Wilkinson

Parathyroid autograft function was studied using radioimmunoassay measuring intact parathormone (iPTH) and C-terminal PTH (C-PTH). Blood samples were taken from graft and non-graft arms pre- and post-dialysis. The intact assay showed an appreciably greater differential gradient pre- and post-dialysis than the C-terminal assay. We conclude that particularly in patients with chronic renal failure the intact assay is of greater value in monitoring graft function than the commonly used C-terminal assay. It may also be of value in distinguishing between graft overactivity and ectopic cervical parathyroid tissue in cases of recurrent hyperparathyroidism following apparently total parathyroidectomy and autotransplantation.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D010280 Parathyroid Glands Two pairs of small oval-shaped glands located in the front and the base of the NECK and adjacent to the two lobes of THYROID GLAND. They secrete PARATHYROID HORMONE that regulates the balance of CALCIUM; PHOSPHORUS; and MAGNESIUM in the body. Gland, Parathyroid,Glands, Parathyroid,Parathyroid Gland
D010281 Parathyroid Hormone A polypeptide hormone (84 amino acid residues) secreted by the PARATHYROID GLANDS which performs the essential role of maintaining intracellular CALCIUM levels in the body. Parathyroid hormone increases intracellular calcium by promoting the release of CALCIUM from BONE, increases the intestinal absorption of calcium, increases the renal tubular reabsorption of calcium, and increases the renal excretion of phosphates.
