About This Service

What is the Bone Profile?

Bone Profile is a comprehensive blood test designed to assess various aspects of bone health and metabolism. This profile provides crucial information about key indicators related to bone formation, mineral balance, and overall kidney function. Who is this profile for? This test is recommended for individuals with symptoms or conditions affecting bone health, such as bone pain, fractures, or osteoporosis. It is also useful for monitoring patients with chronic kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, or those undergoing treatment for bone-related conditions. The bone profile includes the following tests: Calcium: Measures the total amount of calcium in your blood, which is essential for bone health, muscle function, and nerve signaling. Phosphates inorganic: Assesses the level of phosphate in your blood, a critical component of bone mineralization. Proteins total: Evaluates the total amount of protein in your blood, which can impact bone health and metabolism. Albumin: Measures the level of albumin, a protein that helps regulate blood volume and pressure and affects calcium levels. Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): Detects the level of ALP, an enzyme associated with bone formation and turnover. Globulin: Assesses the level of globulins, proteins that play a role in immune function and overall health. Urea: Measures urea levels, an indicator of kidney function which can influence bone health. Creatinine: Evaluates creatinine levels to assess kidney function, which is important for maintaining mineral balance. Sodium and potassium: These electrolytes are crucial for maintaining fluid balance and overall cellular function, which impacts bone health. Calcium (adjusted): Provides an adjusted measure of calcium levels, accounting for variations in albumin levels to give a more accurate assessment of bone health. When to get tested Consider this test if you are experiencing symptoms related to bone disorders, have a history of kidney disease, or need to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for bone health. It is also useful for evaluating bone health in patients with metabolic or endocrine disorders. Fasting requirements Fasting is generally not required for this test, but you should follow any specific instructions provided by your healthcare provider. Key benefits The bone profile offers a comprehensive assessment of factors affecting bone health and mineral metabolism. By evaluating key indicators such as calcium, phosphate, and bone enzymes, this test helps diagnose bone disorders, monitor treatment progress, and ensure optimal bone health.

Your sample is analysed by accredited labs. Secure results delivered in 2–3 working days.

Understanding Your Report

Your results explained

Your report presents each marker clearly against established reference ranges — making it straightforward to understand where you stand and what, if anything, needs attention.

Low

Below Range

A result below the reference range means a marker is lower than expected. This can affect how you feel and may need dietary, supplementation, or clinical attention.

Next step: Review with a clinician to determine whether correction is needed.

Balanced

Within Range

Results within the expected range indicate this marker is functioning normally. A good baseline for any planned treatment or lifestyle programme.

Next step: Proceed with confidence, and retest periodically to track changes.

Elevated

Above Range

A result above the reference range may indicate physiological stress or an imbalance that deserves attention — even before any symptoms are present.

Next step: Clinician review is recommended before proceeding with any treatment.

Before Your Appointment

How to prepare

🕐

Sample Timing

Fasting is not always required, but some tests may recommend it. If fasting is advised, avoid food for 8–12 hours and drink water only. Stay well hydrated for accurate sample collection.

💊

Medications & Supplements

Continue prescribed medications unless advised otherwise. Avoid vitamin, mineral, or biotin supplements for at least 24–48 hours before your test, as these can interfere with results.

🌸

Hormones & Menstrual Cycle
