Osteoporosis panel

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 is a marker of the formation of new bone tissue

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
