My PTH came back 24 from my 6 month labs. Quest says their parameters are from 20 to 40. The Internet says 10 to 65. So is my PTH ok? I guess it is low for either gauge but what a difference. But is it ok? Just trying to keep on top ofthings from the beginning.

Yes, 24 is OK. We like that one on the low side. When it's high, it is often because you aren't getting enough calcium and you are leaching calcium out of your bones. That, of course, is a bad thing.
