Bone Health Checkup
A comprehensive bone and joint health panel covering vitamin D, calcium, arthritis markers, and bone metabolism—for osteoporosis and arthritis screening.

Measures
Calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D (25-hydroxy and 1,25-dihydroxy), vitamin D Gold, alkaline phosphatase (ALP), uric acid, rheumatoid factor (RA), anti-CCP (rheumatoid arthritis), and bone metabolism markers.
Identifies
Osteoporosis risk (low vitamin D, calcium imbalance), vitamin D deficiency (very common in India), rheumatoid arthritis (RA factor, anti-CCP), gout (uric acid), and bone turnover abnormalities.
What is the Bone Health Checkup Test?
The Bone Health Checkup measures calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, alkaline phosphatase, and other markers essential for bone strength. Osteoporosis and vitamin D deficiency are extremely common in India — especially among women and the elderly. This package helps identify bone health issues before fractures occur.
Why Should You Take This Test?
Vitamin D deficiency is epidemic in India (indoor lifestyle, limited sun exposure, diet). It leads to weak bones, falls, and fractures—especially in postmenopausal women. This panel also screens for rheumatoid arthritis, which can cause joint damage if untreated.
Who Should Get Tested?
Women Over 40
Bone density loss accelerates after menopause.
Elderly (60+)
Age-related bone loss is universal.
Joint or Bone Pain
Persistent bone pain or frequent fractures need investigation.
Limited Sun Exposure
Office workers and those who avoid sunlight are prone to Vitamin D deficiency.
Vegetarians
May lack adequate calcium and Vitamin D from diet.

Measures blood calcium level—essential for bones, muscles, nerves, and heart. Abnormal levels can indicate parathyroid, kidney, or bone disorders.
BloodUric acid is a waste product from purine breakdown. High levels can cause gout (joint inflammation) and kidney stones. Also elevated in metabolic syndrome and some kidney diseases.
BloodALP is found in liver, bile ducts, bone, and placenta. Elevated in bile duct obstruction, bone growth or disease, and some liver conditions. Often ordered with GGT to pinpoint liver vs bone origin.
