The Strong Bones Profile assesses the levels of vital minerals necessary for bone health, strength, and density. It helps identify imbalances that may cause weak bones, osteoporosis, fractures, or other conditions.
| Test Parameter | Normal Range | Remarks |
|---|---|---|
| Calcium | 8.5 - 10.5 mg/dl | Vital for strong bones,teeth, muscle & nerve function |
| Phosphorous | 2.5 - 4.5 mg/dl | Works with calcium to build bones; important for kidney health |
| Magnesium | 1.7 - 2.6 mg/dl | Supports bone formation and calcium absorption |
Low Calcium → May indicate Vitamin D deficiency, hypoparathyroidism, or kidney/liver issues.
High Calcium → Can be due to hyperparathyroidism, excess Vitamin D, or prolonged bed rest.
Abnormal Phosphorus or Magnesium levels can affect bone strength and increase the risk of muscle cramps or weakness.
Note: Reference ranges may vary slightly by lab, age, and gender. Always consult your doctor for proper interpretation.
Fasting Requirement: Not mandatory. Can be done at any time.
