- The main protein made by the liver
- Helps maintain fluid balance in the blood
- Low levels can indicate liver or kidney problems, or poor nutrition
- An enzyme found in the liver, bone and bile ducts
- Raised levels can point to liver, bile duct or bone conditions
- Interpreted alongside other liver markers for context
- A mineral essential for bone strength, muscle and nerve function
- 'Adjusted' calcium corrects for albumin level for accuracy
- Abnormal levels can relate to bone, kidney or parathyroid issues
- Calcium level corrected for albumin, giving a more accurate reading than raw calcium alone when protein levels are abnormal.
- A waste product from normal muscle breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function
- Used to calculate eGFR (estimated kidney filtration rate)
- A group of proteins involved in immune function and transport
- Assessed alongside albumin to give a fuller liver/immune picture
- Abnormal levels can reflect liver disease, infection or inflammation
- A mineral important for bone health and energy metabolism
- Levels are closely regulated by the kidneys and parathyroid hormone
- Abnormal results can reflect kidney or bone conditions
- A key electrolyte important for heart and muscle function
- Abnormal levels can affect heart rhythm and need prompt attention
- Closely linked to kidney function
- A key electrolyte that regulates fluid balance
- Abnormal levels can reflect kidney, hormonal or hydration issues
- Commonly checked as part of a routine metabolic panel
- The combined total of albumin and globulin in the blood
- Reflects overall nutritional and liver status
- Abnormal results prompt a closer look at albumin/globulin individually
- A waste product from protein breakdown, filtered by the kidneys
- Raised levels can indicate reduced kidney function or dehydration
- Interpreted alongside creatinine for a fuller picture
About this profile
The Bone Profile checks the key minerals and proteins that reflect bone health, kidney function, and overall metabolic balance. It's a quick way to spot imbalances that can affect bone strength, muscle function, and nerve signalling before they cause symptoms.
What's Included
- Calcium & Adjusted Calcium: Essential for bone strength, muscle contraction, and nerve function.
- Phosphate: Works alongside calcium to build and maintain healthy bones and teeth.
- Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP): An enzyme linked to bone turnover and liver health; raised levels can flag bone or liver conditions.
- Total Protein & Albumin: Reflect nutritional status and are needed to interpret calcium levels accurately.
- Globulin: Supports immune function; assessed alongside albumin for a full protein picture.
- Urea & Creatinine: Kidney function markers, since kidney health directly affects calcium and phosphate balance.
- Sodium & Potassium: Electrolytes that support the metabolic processes tied to bone health.
Who Should Consider This Test?
- Anyone with a family history of osteoporosis or bone disease
- Post-menopausal women, who are at higher risk of bone density loss
- Individuals experiencing unexplained bone or joint pain
- Those monitoring long-term steroid use, which can affect bone density
Test Details
- Sample Required: Blood sample.
- Results Available: Approximately 4 hours.
