Bone Health Panel
The bone health panel evaluates bone metabolism - calcium, vitamin D, PTH, alkaline phosphatase and magnesium. It helps make sense of osteoporosis, vitamin D deficiency and calcium disorders.
Also known as: Bone Profile · Bone Metabolism Panel
Preparation: Best drawn in the morning; timing affects the result.
Calcium, vitamin D and PTH are tightly linked in regulating bone metabolism; ALP reflects bone-cell activity, and magnesium is involved in calcium absorption. They're read together.

Frequently asked questions
Why are calcium and vitamin D read together?
Vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium, and PTH regulates the balance between them. A single value says little without the others.
Do I need to fast?
A morning fasting draw is often advised; follow your lab's instructions.
