Bone Screening Package

1. Vitamin D
2. PTH
3. Calcium
4. Phosphorus

Vitamin D, calcium and phosphorus play an important role in maintaining bone and dental health and in the normal functioning of muscles. PTH (parathyroid hormone) regulates the body's calcium and phosphorus balance. When evaluated together, these tests provide information about vitamin D deficiency, mineral imbalances and parathyroid gland function.

Who is it recommended for?
It may be recommended, following a physician's evaluation, for people with osteoporosis, recurrent fractures, unexplained bone pain or muscle weakness; and for people with kidney disease, recurrent kidney stones, malabsorption or abnormal calcium levels. It can also be used to monitor the treatment of vitamin D deficiency or parathyroid disease. Not every healthy person needs to have these four tests routinely; the necessary tests are determined according to the individual's health status.

During working hours, you can visit our Nicosia or Kyrenia laboratory branches and have your tests done with a simple blood sample.
