Our Bone Profile at Oak Diagnostic Center is a specialized set of tests designed to assess the health and integrity of your bones. Bones are the structural framework of our body, and their health is paramount for overall well-being. This profile provides valuable information about bone density, mineral content, and bone metabolism.

Key Components of the Bone Profile:

1. Calcium: Calcium is a crucial mineral for bone health. This test measures the amount of calcium in your blood, which can help identify conditions like hypercalcemia (high calcium levels) or hypocalcemia (low calcium levels).

2. Phosphorus: Phosphorus is another mineral vital for bone and overall health. Abnormal phosphorus levels may be indicative of bone disorders or kidney problems.

3. Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): ALP is an enzyme produced by the bones and liver. Elevated ALP levels can be a sign of bone or liver diseases.

4. Vitamin D: Vitamin D plays a key role in bone health by aiding calcium absorption. A deficiency can lead to weakened bones and conditions like osteoporosis.

Our Bone Profile is of immense importance for several reasons:

• Bone Health Assessment: The profile provides a comprehensive evaluation of your bone health, allowing for early detection of issues like osteoporosis.

• Disease Diagnosis: Abnormalities in calcium, phosphorus, and ALP levels can indicate bone or other medical conditions.

• Treatment Guidance: The results guide healthcare providers in determining appropriate treatment strategies to address bone health issues.

• Preventive Care: Regular assessments are essential for preventive healthcare, helping you maintain strong and healthy bones throughout life.
