Description
What is the Bone Profile Blood Test?
Bone Profile – Bone comprises collagen, a protein that provides strength, and calcium phosphate, a mineralised combination that strengthens the bones. Bone markers can identify bone illnesses such as osteoporosis or other bone abnormalities.
The bone profile blood test is a safe and effective way to assess and calculate your bones’ minerals, enzymes, and proteins to determine how healthy your bones are.
Why get a Bone Profile Blood test?
Bone health and strength are vital for posture, movement, and overall well-being, but bones weaken with age. As a result, older people are frequently urged to take this blood test.
Bone profiling is used to analyse and assess specific disorders like:
- Osteoporosis.
- Bone cancer.
- Liver disease and thyroid issues.
- Paget’s disease.
