Age restriction on blood tests

We're unable to offer blood tests for those under the age of 18 unless it is part of a routine GP appointment and the clinician believes it suitable.

The Bone Health Test evaluates the following biomarkers:

  • Alkaline phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme found in the liver and bone. Elevated levels can indicate liver disease or bone-related conditions.
  • Calcium: Essential mineral for bone health and bodily functions. Calcium test measures blood levels to assess bone health and nerve/muscle function and detect disorders.
  • Parathyroid hormone (PTH): A hormone that regulates calcium levels. The PTH test measures its concentration in blood, aiding in diagnosing and monitoring conditions like hyperparathyroidism and hyperparathyroidism.
  • Phosphate: An inorganic chemical compound containing phosphorus. It plays a crucial role in biological processes such as energy transfer, DNA synthesis, and cell signaling. The biomarker indicates phosphate levels and can help assess metabolic disorders and bone health.
  • Vitamin D: A vital fat-soluble vitamin that supports bone, muscle, and immune system health. Our bodies process Vitamin D when exposed to sunlight. We obtain vitamin D by consumption of specific foods and or supplements.
