Osteoporosis testing aims to evaluate the condition of osteoporosis, determining the extent of bone loss and the risk of bone fractures. Osteoporosis affects both men and women, but women are more likely to be affected, especially after menopause. Blood and urine tests are conducted to assess bone metabolism, measuring calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and indicators related to bone resorption and formation.

Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

55.000 đ

ALP level test measures the amount of alkaline phosphatase enzyme in the blood. This enzyme is found in several parts of the body, especially in the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system. High or low levels of ALP can signal various conditions. For example, higher levels might point to liver disease, blocked bile ducts, or bone disorders. On the other hand, lower levels could suggest certain deficiencies or health issues. The test itself is pretty straightforward, involving a simple blood draw. Monitoring ALP levels can help in diagnosing and managing health conditions related to the liver, bones, kidneys, and digestive system.

Albumin

30.000 đ

Serum Albumin test measures the level of albumin in the blood. Albumin is the most abundant protein in the blood, produced by the liver. It plays a crucial role in maintaining pressure within blood vessels to prevent leaking fluids and in transporting hormones, vitamins, and other substances throughout the body. The test is primarily used to assess liver function and nutritional status. Low levels of albumin can indicate liver disease or an inflammatory response, and might also suggest malnutrition or a problem with nutrient absorption. On the other hand, high levels are rare but can occur in conditions such as severe dehydration. Routinely checking albumin levels can help in the diagnosis and monitoring of liver conditions, kidney disease, and nutritional health.

Phosphorus (P) [Serum]

61.000 đ

Serum Phosphorus test measures the amount of phosphorus in the blood. Phosphorus, an essential mineral, plays a key role in building strong bones and teeth, as well as in how the body uses carbohydrates and fats. It's also involved in the body's production of protein for the growth, maintenance, and repair of cells and tissues. This test helps check for conditions that can alter phosphorus levels, such as kidney disease, bone disorders, and issues with calcium intake. Low or high phosphorus levels can indicate potential health issues, making this test important for monitoring overall mineral balance and bone health.

Calcium (Ca) [Serum]

30.000 đ

Calcium test is crucial for monitoring overall health. It offers insights into how the body is functioning and signals any potential health issues. Calcium plays a key role in maintaining bone strength, facilitating muscle movement, and enabling nerve communication. Abnormal calcium levels can indicate various conditions, including kidney disorders, thyroid complications, or vitamin D deficiency. By tracking calcium levels, healthcare professionals can devise effective strategies to ensure optimal health maintenance.

25-OH Vitamin D

345.000 đ

Serum 25-OH Vitamin D test measures the level of 25-hydroxyvitamin D in the blood, which is the best indicator of vitamin D status. Vitamin D is crucial for bone health, as it helps the body absorb calcium. It also plays a role in immune function and inflammation reduction. This test is used to check if there is too much or too little vitamin D, which can indicate bone disorders, nutritional deficiencies, or other health issues. Adequate levels of vitamin D are important for maintaining bone strength and overall health, making this test essential in preventive health care.

Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)

The Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) test is a calculated test that measures kidney function. It estimates how well the kidneys are filtering out waste and excess fluid from the blood. The calculation is based on several factors, including age, sex, race, and the level of creatinine in the blood, a waste product that comes from muscle activity. eGFR is a crucial indicator of kidney health, helping identify stages of kidney disease and monitor its progression. A lower eGFR value suggests poor kidney function, while a higher eGFR indicates better kidney health. This test is essential for detecting early kidney damage and guiding treatment to prevent further decline in kidney function.

Beta-Crosslaps

230.000 đ

Our bones are continually being remodeled in a two-step process: the “breakdown” of bone (resorption) and the replacement of the removed bone (formation). In osteoporosis, the bones are weakened because the breakdown occurs faster than the rebuilding. When bone is resorbed, fragments of the bone collagen are released into the bloodstream. One of these fragments is called “C-telopeptide.” This test helps assess the loss of bone mass in cases of osteoporosis or other bone diseases such as Paget’s disease.

intact Parathyroid hormone (iPTH)

229.000 đ

PTH is a hormone your parathyroid glands make, which helps control the calcium level in your blood. If calcium blood levels are too low, your parathyroid glands will release PTH to raise calcium levels. If calcium levels are too high, these glands will stop making PTH. This test helps diagnose hyperparathyroidism (too much PTH) and hypoparathyroidism (too little PTH), monitor kidney disease, and determine whether high calcium blood levels relate to parathyroid glands.

Creatinine* [Serum]

Serum Creatinine level test is a blood test that measures the amount of creatinine in the blood. Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscles from the breakdown of a compound called creatine. The kidneys filter out creatinine, so this test is a key indicator of kidney function. Healthy kidneys remove creatinine from the blood, but if creatinine levels are high, it suggests the kidneys might not be working properly. This test helps in assessing kidney health and detecting kidney issues early.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What additional panels should be performed to properly assess my current health status?

– Thyroid: Recommended for individuals seeking comprehensive osteoporosis evaluation, as thyroid dysfunction can cause bone density loss leading to increased fracture risk.

– Vitamins, Minerals & Electrolytes: Suitable for individuals with limited outdoor activity to ensure adequate nutrition for strong bones and sustainable overall health.

– Arthritis: Suitable for elderly individuals with persistent joint pain, especially those with autoimmune arthritis, to identify risk factors contributing to joint damage beyond osteoporosis.

– Wellness Checkup: Suitable for individuals immobilized due to illness or injury to assess overall organ function impacted by prolonged inactivity.

2. What preparations are needed before an osteoporosis test?

No special preparations are required. Customers can eat and engage in normal activities before the test.

3. Does the osteoporosis test package at DIAG include bone mineral density, CT scan, or bone ultrasound?

No. DIAG’s Osteoporosis Panels only perform blood tests. These tests evaluate the risk of osteoporosis through indices such as Creatinine, eGFR, Albumin, Calcium and Beta-Crosslaps.

4. Do children need osteoporosis testing?

Yes. Children can be at risk for osteoporosis, and it is difficult to detect.
