Abstract

To improve the diagnostic sensitivity of PTH measurements, more data on the upper limit of the reference interval for PTH levels were requested at a recent international consensus conference. As PTH levels vary inversely with plasma 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) levels and as vitamin D insufficiency is widespread, particular attention should be given to the influence of low vitamin D levels on the PTH reference interval. AIM, DESIGN AND METHODS: In a cross-sectional design, including 2316 women aged 17-84, we determined 95% reference interval using a nonparametric approach and studied the effects of potential predictors on plasma PTH levels.
