CALCITONIN

The Calcitonin test measures the level of calcitonin, a hormone made by the thyroid gland. This hormone helps control calcium levels in the body and help detect medullary thyroid cancer, a rare type of thyroid cancer. It can also help check for other rare conditions related to abnormal calcium levels.
