Diagnostic accuracy of parathyroid hormone levels in washout samples of suspicious parathyroid adenomas: A single‐centre retrospective cohort study

Abstract: According to the literature, PTH determination in washout samples has a specificity of 75%-100% and sensitivity of 70%-100%. This approach has better results than both cytology and scintigraphy in case of concomitant multinodular thyroid disease in experienced hands. Although there is not a definite cut-off for PTH levels in washout samples, we agree with the need of ratios rather than cut-offs in this issue.

“…FNA-PTH was performed with a 21-to 27-gauge needle, washed out with 0.5-1 mL of 0.9% saline or PTH-free serum. The result was considered as positive if higher than patient's serum PTH level at the time of sampling in four studies (19,21,24,25), two times this level in one (22); the remaining papers reported a cutoff ranging from 40 to 103 pg/mL (Table 2) (20,23,26,27). Overall, 222 lesions in 182 patients were evaluated.…”

“…found that the PTH washout/plasma PTH ratio over 3.05 had a specificity of 89% [17]. This data suggests that when higher PTH washout / plasma PTH ratio is accepted as positive cut-off value, it may increase false negative results.…”

“…There are studies suggesting different positive cut-off values for PTH washout. Gokcay et al found sensitivity at 90.3% and specificity at 88.9% in determining parathyroid lesion when they received 436.5 pg/mL as the positive cut-off value for PTH washout [17]. Kiblud et al showed that a PTH washout result of more than 1 000 pg/mL had sensitivity of 75% and PPV of 74% in the verification of parathyroid tissue [18].…”
