Bone Health
Maintaining good bone health is essential for long-term mobility, strength, and fracture prevention. A bone health blood test can help assess factors that influence bone density and strength, and is often used as part of osteoporosis screening, vitamin D assessment, or general health monitoring.
This blood test measures key markers involved in bone metabolism, including calcium and phosphate levels, vitamin D status, parathyroid hormone activity, and alkaline phosphatase. These markers play a crucial role in bone formation, mineral balance, and calcium regulation. Abnormal results may be associated with vitamin D deficiency, reduced bone density, osteoporosis, parathyroid disorders, or issues with calcium absorption.
A patient may wish to consider a bone health blood test if they have bone or joint pain, a history of fractures, reduced mobility, or known risk factors such as menopause, increasing age, long-term steroid use, or limited sun exposure.
It is also commonly requested by people looking to check vitamin D levels, assess calcium balance, or gain reassurance about bone strength as part of a wider health screen.
The Bone Health blood test is offered at a fixed price of £59
