Calcitonin Test
About the Calcitonin Test
Direct answer: The Calcitonin test is a blood test used to measure a thyroid hormone that helps detect certain thyroid disorders and medullary thyroid cancer.
The Calcitonin Test measures calcitonin, a hormone produced by specialised cells in the thyroid gland. Definition: Calcitonin is a thyroid hormone that helps regulate calcium levels in the blood. Abnormally high calcitonin levels may indicate medullary thyroid cancer or other thyroid-related conditions.
This test is commonly advised when thyroid nodules are detected, in family history of thyroid cancer, or for follow-up after thyroid treatment. Definition: Thyroid follow-up testing refers to periodic hormone monitoring used to detect recurrence after therapy. At healthcare nt sickcare, the Calcitonin test is available with a Home Collection Facility across Pune and a Direct Walk-in Facility, ensuring timely thyroid health assessment in Maharashtra.
Sample & Method
A blood sample is collected through venepuncture (blood drawn from a vein) and analysed using validated laboratory immunoassay techniques to measure calcitonin concentration.
