Bone Screen Test Kit

About Bone Screen Test Kit

The Bone Screen Test is a comprehensive blood profile designed to assess important markers related to bone health, mineral balance, kidney function, and overall wellbeing.

This test provides valuable information about the essential nutrients, minerals, and health markers that help maintain strong bones, healthy muscles, and normal body function. It helps identify factors that may affect bone strength, vitamin D status, and mineral regulation.

What is the Bone Screen Test Used for?

This test is used to assess important markers linked to bone health, mineral balance, and overall body function. Common reasons for testing include:

• Monitoring overall bone health
• Checking vitamin D and calcium levels
• Assessing mineral balance in the body
• Understanding factors affecting bone strength
• Monitoring kidney and liver markers linked to overall health

How Does the Bone Screen Test Work?

The Bone Screen Blood Test analyses a blood sample to measure important markers involved in bone metabolism, mineral balance, and general health:

• Vitamin D (25-OH) – measures vitamin D levels which are essential for calcium absorption, strong bones, healthy muscles, and overall wellbeing
• Calcium – checks calcium levels needed for maintaining strong bones and teeth, as well as supporting normal muscle and nerve function
• Phosphate – measures phosphate levels which work with calcium and vitamin D to support bone structure and normal body processes
• Kidney Function Markers – checks markers involved in kidney health and mineral regulation
• Liver Function Markers – assesses important liver-related markers that support understanding of metabolism and overall health

What Does the Bone Screen Test Check?

This profile checks important markers related to bone health, kidney function, liver function, and mineral balance:

• Vitamin D (25-OH)
• Calcium
• Corrected Calcium
• Phosphate
• Urea and Electrolytes
• Creatinine
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
• Liver Function Tests

Who Can Use the Bone Screen Test?

The Bone Screen Blood Test is suitable for adults who want to understand their bone health and monitor important markers linked to maintaining strong bones and healthy body function.

It may be useful for people concerned about vitamin D deficiency, calcium balance, mineral levels, kidney health, or supporting long-term bone and muscle health.

What’s Included In The Kit

The Bone Screen Blood Test includes detailed analysis of essential markers involved in bone health, vitamin D levels, kidney function, liver health, and mineral balance:

• Urea and Electrolytes – measures important kidney health markers and the body’s mineral balance. These markers help assess fluid balance, electrolyte levels, and factors involved in normal kidney function.
• Creatinine – measures a waste product naturally produced by muscles and filtered by the kidneys. It is an important marker used to assess kidney function.
• Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) – estimates how efficiently the kidneys filter waste from the blood and provides an indication of overall kidney health.
• Liver Function Tests (LFTs) – checks important liver markers that provide information about liver health, metabolism, and how well the liver is functioning.
• Alanine Transaminase (ALT) – measures a liver enzyme that can provide information about liver cell health.
• Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP) – measures an enzyme linked to both liver and bone health, helping assess factors involved in bone metabolism.
• Gamma Glutamyl Transferase (GGT) – measures a liver enzyme that helps assess liver and bile duct function.
• Albumin – measures an important protein produced by the liver that helps assess liver function and overall nutritional status.
• Calcium – measures calcium levels required for strong bones and teeth, while supporting normal muscle function, nerve activity, and many essential body processes.
• Corrected Calcium – provides a more accurate calcium measurement by adjusting results according to albumin levels in the blood.
• Phosphate – measures phosphate levels that work together with calcium and vitamin D to support healthy bones, energy metabolism, and normal cell function.
• Vitamin D (25-OH) – measures vitamin D status, which is essential for calcium absorption, bone strength, muscle health, and overall wellbeing.
