Patient education
Calcitonin is a hormone made by specific cells in the thyroid gland.
It may be requested in the assessment or monitoring of medullary thyroid cancer or related inherited risk; it is not a general thyroid-function test.
Preparation depends on the test and any other tests ordered at the same time. Follow the instructions from the requesting professional and laboratory, tell them about medicines and supplements, and do not stop medicines unless a qualified professional tells you to.
These independent resources support the general patient education on this page. External links open outside the laboratory website.
