    Abstract:
    Aim of the present study was to establish the limits and difficulties prevailing in RIA of PTH due to different specificity of antisera. Studies were carried out on normal volunteers and 36 patients with primary hyperparathyroidism (HPT) employing two different assay techniques a) 211/32 antiserum from Wellcome Lab. and b) Immuno Nuclear Corporation Kit. Plasma iPTH values were higher in most primary HPT patients than in normal subjects with both techniques. It is possible nevertheless to differentiate the primary HPT patients with normal plasma iPTH values from normal subjects by correlating plasma iPTH values with corresponding serum calcium values.
