Assess the rate of bone breakdown and essential minerals, proteins and vitamins.
his test panel extends our standard bone health panel by measuring the rate of bone breakdown (bone resorption).
A higher level of bone resorption markers means higher bone turnover and higher bone loss. This leads to an increased risk of osteoporotic fractures.
We also measure the essential minerals, protein and vitamins involved in the production & maintenance of healthy bones and teeth.
This panel can also indicate if other processes are on-going. For example, high DPD levels suggest increased bone resorption which can be seen in osteoarthritis, osteoporosis and other factors that affect bone such as Paget’s disease, bone cancers, fracture and bone infections.

Bone is a living tissue that is constantly being broken down and rebuilt. This balance can be disrupted through dietary or hormonal changes leading to reduction in the minerals which contribute to bone density and strength.
This can lead to osteoporosis and a marked increase in risk of fracture, with the risk increasing with age, especially for women.
