CALCITONIN

Calcitonin testing measures the hormone produced by thyroid C‑cells and is used to screen for and monitor medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC); elevated serum calcitonin can indicate C‑cell hyperplasia or MTC and warrants specialist follow‑up. It is recommended for people with suspicious thyroid nodules, a personal or family history of MTC or MEN2 syndromes, and for postoperative surveillance after thyroid cancer treatment. In Dubai this service is offered as at‑home venous blood collection by trained phlebotomists with rapid processing at DHA‑accredited laboratories—no strict fasting is usually required, but inform your clinician about medications and have results interpreted by an endocrinologist.
