Bone Health Profile

What is included (5 tests)

About the Bone Health Profile

The bone health profile checks calcium, phosphorus, ALP, vitamin D and parathyroid hormone, which together control how strong your bones are. It helps find the cause of bone pain, low bone density, fractures and vitamin D deficiency, and is often advised alongside a DEXA scan.

Symptoms and situations where this test helps

• Bone, joint or back pain and muscle weakness
• Women after menopause and adults above 50
• Fractures after minor injuries
• Long-term steroid or antacid use, thyroid or kidney disease

Understanding your results

Low vitamin D with raised PTH and ALP suggests poor bone mineralisation. Low calcium can cause cramps and tingling. High calcium with high PTH points to parathyroid problems. Your doctor reads the set together, not one value alone.

What your doctor may advise next

Your doctor may advise vitamin D and calcium supplements, a DEXA scan for bone density, or an endocrinologist review.
