• It is currently possible to measure PTH-rP concentrations only in canine samples.
• PTHrP is a parathormone-like protein.
• The hormone is formed physiologically during growth and during pregnancy.
• This parameter should not be used to diagnose pregnancy, as the cut-off value depends on several factors and varies between individuals.
• Pathologically, it is secreted by different tumours, e.g. by some kinds of lymphoma, lymphosarcoma and anal sac carcinoma.
