We have previously shown that the Nichols assay for intact parathyroid hormone (I-PTH) reacts with a non-(1–84) molecular form of PTH. This form behaves as a carboxy-terminal fragment and accumulates in renal failure, accounting for 40–60% of the measured immunoreactivity. We wanted to see whether this was a common event with other commercial two-site I-PTH assays. We thus compared the ability of three commercial kits [Nichols (NL), Incstar (IT), and Diagnostic System Laboratories (DSL)] to measure I-PTH in 112 renal failure patients and to detect hPTH(1–84) and non-(1–84)PTH on HPLC profiles of serum pools from uremic patients with I-PTH concentrations of 10–100 pmol/L. The behavior of synthetic hPTH(7–84), a fragment possibly related to non-(1–84)PTH was also compared with hPTH(1–84) in the three assays. The I-PTH concentrations measured with the three assays in the 112 uremic samples were highly related (r2 >= 0.89, P <0.0001), and the values measured with NL were, on average, 23% higher than IT. Values measured with DSL were 23% and 56% higher than IT for values less than and more than 40 pmol/L, respectively. The three assays detected two HPLC peaks on four different profiles corresponding to hPTH(1–84) and non-(1–84)PTH. This last peak represented 36 ± 8.4% of the immunoreactivity with NL, 24 ± 5.5% with IT, and 25 ± 2.8% with DSL (NL vs IT or DSL: P <0.05). These differences were confirmed by a 50% lower immunoreactivity to hPTH(7–84) compared with hPTH(1–84) for IT and DSL but not for NL. These results suggest that most of the two-site I-PTH assays would cross-react with non-(1–84)PTH material, thus explaining about one-half of the 2–2.5 x higher I-PTH concentrations reported in uremic patients without bone involvement than in subjects without uremia.
