Bone Screen Profile
The Bone Screen is a laboratory test that involves analyzing a person's blood sample to assess the health and condition of their bones. This test is typically done to evaluate bone metabolism and to diagnose or monitor various bone-related conditions such as osteoporosis, osteomalacia, Paget's disease, and bone cancer. It helps in measuring levels of specific markers and minerals in the blood that are indicative of bone health, such as calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone, and vitamin D. The results of the Bone Screen test can provide valuable information to healthcare professionals for diagnosing and managing bone disorders.

BIO MARKER
Bicarbonate
Bicarbonate is an electrolyte that helps maintain the pH balance of the blood and supports various physiological functions. Abnormal levels can indicate respiratory or metabolic disorders, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or metabolic acidosis.
Sodium
Sodium is an electrolyte crucial for fluid balance and nerve function. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney dysfunction, dehydration, or other metabolic imbalances.
Chloride
Chloride is an electrolyte that helps maintain fluid balance and acid-base balance in the body. Abnormal chloride levels can indicate issues with kidney function, dehydration, or metabolic disorders.
Potassium
Potassium is an electrolyte crucial for maintaining proper cell function, nerve transmission, and muscle contraction. Abnormal levels can indicate kidney dysfunction or metabolic imbalances.
Creatinine
Creatinine is a waste product produced by muscle metabolism and excreted by the kidneys. It is used to assess kidney function and diagnose conditions such as chronic kidney disease.
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR)
Estimated Glomerular Filtration Rate (eGFR) is a measure of kidney function that estimates how well the kidneys are filtering blood. It is used to diagnose and monitor chronic kidney disease.
Albumin
Albumin is a protein produced by the liver that helps maintain blood volume and pressure by regulating the oncotic pressure of the blood. Low levels of albumin can suggest liver disease, kidney problems, or malnutrition. It is commonly measured to assess overall health, liver function, and nutritional status.
Globulin
Globulin is a group of proteins in the blood that includes antibodies and transport proteins. Abnormal levels can indicate liver or kidney disease, immune disorders, or nutritional deficiencies.
Total Protein
Total Protein measures the total amount of protein in the blood. Abnormal levels can indicate liver or kidney disease, nutritional deficiencies, or other health conditions.
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT)
Alanine Aminotransferase (ALT) is an enzyme primarily found in the liver. It plays a role in amino acid metabolism. Elevated ALT levels in the blood can signal liver inflammation or damage, often due to conditions such as hepatitis, fatty liver disease, or alcohol abuse. This test is frequently used to monitor liver function and diagnose liver-related health issues.
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST)
Aspartate Aminotransferase (AST) is an enzyme found in the liver, heart, and muscles. Elevated AST levels can indicate liver damage or disease, such as hepatitis or cirrhosis, as well as muscle injuries. This test is used to assess liver function and diagnose liver-related health issues.
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT)
Gamma-Glutamyltransferase (GGT) is an enzyme involved in liver function and detoxification. Elevated levels can indicate liver disease, bile duct obstruction, or alcohol abuse. Testing GGT helps assess liver health.
Total Bilirubin
Total Bilirubin measures the amount of bilirubin in the blood. Elevated levels can indicate liver dysfunction, bile duct obstruction, or hemolytic anaemia. Testing helps diagnose and monitor these conditions.
Adjusted Calcium
Adjusted calcium is the total calcium level in the blood adjusted for the amount of albumin, a protein that can affect calcium levels. This measurement is important for evaluating calcium metabolism, particularly in cases where albumin levels are abnormal. It helps in diagnosing and managing conditions related to bone health, parathyroid function, and kidney function.
Vitamin D (25-Oh – Colecalciferol)
Vitamin D (25-OH – colecalciferol) tests the level of vitamin D in the blood, crucial for bone health and calcium regulation. Abnormal levels can affect bone density and overall health.
Calcium
Calcium is a vital mineral that plays a role in bone health, muscle function, and nerve transmission. The calcium test measures the level of calcium in the blood to assess bone health, parathyroid function, and kidney function, as well as to diagnose and monitor various conditions.
