“Osteoporosis Panel” - a comprehensive laboratory study

Osteoporosis — is a disease in which bone density decreases, its fragility increases, and the risk of fractures increases. It most often affects women during menopause, but can also develop at a younger age — with hormonal disorders, calcium or vitamin D deficiency.

For early detection of bone metabolism disorders in the laboratory Medilab Plus used osteoporosis panel — a comprehensive study covering key biochemical indicators.

What is included in the panel?

• Total calcium (Ca) — the main trace element of bone tissue

• Ionized calcium (Ca++) — active form of calcium in the blood, sensitive to changes in vitamin D and parathormone

• Phosphorus (P) — together with calcium, it is responsible for bone strength

• Parathyroid hormone (intact, iPTH) — regulates calcium and phosphorus metabolism, a key hormone in osteoporosis

• Osteocalcin (BGP) — a protein produced by osteoblasts and a marker of new bone formation Osteocalcin has proven itself as an important indicator of bone activity and can be used to assess metabolic processes in the body. Studies indicate that Osteocalcin and its role in metabolism include effects on blood sugar regulation and lipid metabolism. However, it is worth noting that its level can vary depending on various factors, including age, hormonal background and physical activity.

Who is recommended?

• For women after 40 years, especially during menopause

• People from frequent fractures or decreased growth

• If suspected of vitamin D deficiency

• Patients with hypoparathyroidism or hyperparathyroidism

• For monitoring during treatment osteoporosis or osteopenia

How to prepare?

• Surrender in the morning, on an empty stomach (8–12 hours without food)

• In consultation with the doctor - temporarily discontinue calcium or vitamin D intake

• Avoid physical and emotional stress the day before

Advantages of diagnostics at Medilab Plus:

• Accurate ELISA and biochemical methods

• Fast execution: result in 1–2 business days

• Comfortable environment, opportunity fence at home

• Doctor's consultation based on the analysis results - if necessary

Don't wait for symptoms to appear — osteoporosis develops imperceptibly.
