Full write-up
What is it
Bone Basic is a basic checkup panel that brings together key markers associated with bone health. It is designed to be considered as a group rather than as isolated results, combining Vitamin D (25-OH), Total Calcium, and Alkaline Phosphatase for a broader view of these related markers. Results can be discussed with a clinician, especially when a medical condition is involved.
What's included
Bone Basic brings together three serum markers that contribute to a basic bone-related assessment: Vitamin D (25-OH), Total Calcium, and Alkaline Phosphatase.
Keeping these measurements in one panel allows them to be considered together rather than as isolated results. Vitamin D (25-OH) and Total Calcium represent nutrient and mineral-related measurements, while Alkaline Phosphatase adds another marker to the overall picture. The panel is therefore organized around complementary serum measurements relevant to bone assessment.
How to prepare
Fasting is not required before this checkup, so it can be prepared without arranging a fasting period. The test uses a serum sample. No additional timing or food and drink restrictions are specified for preparation.
