DESCRIPTION:
The Osteoporosis Risk Panel includes ten different tests that evaluate your risk for osteoporosis – a debilitating disease that causes bones to become more fragile.
Calcium and Vitamin D play a large part in diagnosing osteoporosis. If you are deficient in these minerals, this panel will tell you. The other tests help make the panel more comprehensive and give you and your physician a better evaluation of your bones and how your body processes the minerals needed to create bone.
WHY DO I NEED TO BE SCREENED FOR OSTEOPOROSIS?
People with osteoporosis are typically older females with a small or thin body frame and have a diet low in calcium (but high in protein, sodium and caffeine).
If you experience loss of height or a broken bone, or if you have a history of smoking, alcohol abuse and a lack of exercise, you might want to consider this panel.
OTHER RELEVANT LAB TESTS:
If you’re interested in the Osteoporosis Risk Panel, you might also want to consider the Basic Check‐Up, Menopause Screening Panel or the Comprehensive Male or Female Panel.
WHAT ARE THE TEST RESULT RANGES?
Normal Range:
VITAMIN D 25, HYDROXY: 16.0 – 74.0 ng/mL.
THYROID PANEL: Please see individual test.
PTH, INTACT, CALCIUM: 10 – 65 pg/mL
FSH: Please see individual test.
ESTRADIOL: Please see individual test.
TESTOSTERONE FREE AND TOTAL: Please see individual test.
PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS:
| Total Protein | 6.4 ‐ 8.3 g/dL |
| Albumin | 3.5 ‐ 5.0 g/dL |
| Alpha‐1 globulin | 0.1 ‐ 0.3 g/dL |
| Alpha‐2 globulin | 0.6 ‐ 1.0 g/dL |
| Beta globulin | 0.7 ‐ 1.2 g/dL |
| Gamma globulin | 0.7 ‐ 1.6 g/dL |
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE: 50 –160 units/L.
High Results Indicate:
VITAMIN D 25, HYDROXY: Elevated levels may indicate hypervitaminosis D which can lead to high calcium levels.
THYROID PANEL: Please see individual test.
PTH, INTACT, CALCIUM: Elevated levels could indicate hyperparathyroidism, pseudohypoparathyroidism or renal failure.
FSH: Please see individual test.
ESTRADIOL: Please see individual test.
TESTOSTERONE FREE AND TOTAL: Please see individual test.
PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS: Elevated levels could indicate chronic inflammatory disease, hyperlipoproteinemia or chronic liver disease.
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE: Elevated levels could indicate bone growth and disease, liver disease, malignancies in the bone and liver or leukemia.
Low Results Indicate:
VITAMIN D 25-HYDROXY: Low levels may indicate lack of adequate levels of Vitamin D in the diet, liver and kidney disease, malabsorption, low blood calcium levels or thin or weak bones.
THYROID PANEL: Please see individual test.
PTH, INTACT, CALCIUM: Low levels could indicate hypoparathyroidism and hypercalcemia of malignancy.
FSH: Please see individual test.
ESTRADIOL: Please see individual test.
TESTOSTERONE FREE AND TOTAL: Please see individual test.
PROTEIN ELECTROPHORESIS: Low levels could indicate malnutrition or coagulation disorder.
ALKALINE PHOSPHATASE: Low levels could indicate a zinc deficiency, hypothyroidism, Vitamin C deficiency, excessive Vitamin D intake, and malnutrition or Vitamin B6 deficiency.
WHAT IF MY LAB TEST RESULTS ARE ABNORMAL OR OUT OF RANGE?
