| significance of parathyroid hormone (pth) radioimmunoassay in the diagnosis of primary hyperparathyroidism: an experience based on 63 surgically proven cases. | the significance of pth-radioimmunoassay was assessed in 63 surgically proven cases of primary hyperparathyroidism. to detect hyperparathyroidism, an increase in the free serum ca index, [1-(8 x alb + 2 x glb + 3)/100] x ca, has the highest predictive value (100%) for a positive test but a low predictive value (11.8%) for a negative test. it was necessary to improve the criteria to rule out the diagnosis of hyperparathyroidism. we therefore carried out a pth radioimmunoassay employing kits made ... | 2013 | 3622392 |
