Bone Health & Osteoporosis Profile | Lahalak Platform

Integrated screening of calcium, Vitamin D, and bone-related hormones to prevent osteoporosis and ensure a strong, healthy skeletal structure.

Scientific name: Bone Metabolic and Osteoporosis Screening Profile

The Bone Metabolic & Osteoporosis Screening package is an ideal choice for assessing skeletal health. It includes measuring serum Calcium and Phosphorus levels, Vitamin D, and Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), along with Alkaline Phosphatase, an important marker for bone turnover. This screening helps identify risks of osteomalacia or osteoporosis, partic...

Medical Service Information

Why is this screening important?

Early detection of bone density loss before fractures occur.
Monitoring the balance of essential minerals (Calcium and Phosphorus).
Evaluating Parathyroid function and its impact on bone health.
Ensuring adequate Vitamin D levels for optimal calcium absorption.

Who should get screened?

Women over 50 or postmenopausal.
Men over 65 years of age.
Individuals with chronic bone or joint pain.
Those with a family history of osteoporosis.

Understanding Your Results

High PTH with low Calcium may indicate Vitamin D deficiency.
Elevated Alkaline Phosphatase can suggest increased bone turnover.
Consult a specialist to correlate results with clinical findings.
