What is the Bone Blood Test Profile Clinic?
Bone is composed of calcium phosphate, a mineralized combination that fortifies the bones, and collagen, a protein that provides strength. A profile marker can aid in the identification of diseases, including osteoporosis, or other abnormalities.
The profile is a secure and efficient method for evaluating and calculating the minerals, enzymes, and proteins that are used to determine bone health.
Why Get the Bone Blood Profile?
The health and strength of bones are essential for their overall well-being, movement, and posture, but they deteriorate as they age. This examination is frequently recommended for senior individuals.
This profile is employed to evaluate particular disorders, such as:
- Osteoporosis.
- Cancer.
- Thyroid disorders and liver disease.
- Paget’s disease.
7 Biomarkers:
- Bicarbonate measures carbon dioxide.
- Urea: Measures nitrogen.
- Creatinine: Measures kidney filtering.
- Calcium
- Phosphate contains phosphorus, an essential mineral for bones.
- ALP (Alkaline Phosphatase) indicates liver or gallbladder disease.
- Albumin measures tissue hormones.

What are the Common Bone Questions?
Q: What potential consequences may arise?
A: Cancer can affect any of the more than 200 bones in the human body.
Q: What are the symptoms of osteoporosis?
A: Osteoporosis is referred to as a “silent” disease because it may remain undetected until a fracture occurs.
Q: What are the underlying factors?
A: Factors that reduce density are the cause of osteoporosis.
Q: What are the risk factors?
A: Women after menopause and men with low testosterone are at a higher risk, as are those who are above the age of 50, lack calcium and other minerals in their diets, do not engage in any physical activity, have celiac disease, and do not spend time in the sun.
Q: What are the methods for preventing osteoporosis?
A: A minimum of 30 minutes of weight-bearing physical activity to promote bone health and a nutritious diet.
Scientific Info/Data for Bone from Our Equipment and Material Suppliers
Technology Method:
Fully automatic biochemistry analyser
Detection Bounds:
- Urea: 0.9 mmol/L
- Creatinine: 22 umol/L
- Phosphate: 1 mmol/L
- Bicarbonate: 0.749 mmol/L
- Albumin: 10 g/L
- ALP: 1 U/L
- Calcium: 1.00 mmol/L
Accuracy and Precision:
- Urea: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
- Creatinine: The approximate error is < ± 15%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3.62%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 4.12%.
- Phosphate: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 5%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 10%.
- Bicarbonate: The within-assay CV is ≤ 3.93%. The total precision is ≤ 7.86%.
- Albumin: The approximate error is < ± 4%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
- ALP: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 1.10%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 1.83%.
- Calcium: The approximate error is < ± 10%. The within-assay CV is ≤ 3%. The between-assay CV is ≤ 5%.
Measuring Ranges:
- Urea: 0.9~35.7 mmol/L
- Creatinine: 22~3000 umol/L
- Phosphate: 0~4.0 mmol/L
- Bicarbonate: 0.749~47.1 mmol/L
- Albumin: 10~60 g/L
- ALP: 1~1200 U/L
- Calcium: 1.00~3.75 mmol/L
Validation-Active Information:
- EQA: NA
- Inter-laboratory validations
- Periodic according to the validation schedule
- Event-triggered- QC/Calibration/New materials/Batch
Accuracy and Precision:
The accuracy relies on the approximate error percentage. This percentage is the percentage deviation from the actual result. The precision relies on the within-assay coefficient of variations and the between-assay coefficient. The within-assay coefficient of variations is the variance of the result value if the same Bone sample was analysed again. The between assay coefficient is the variance of the result value if the same sample was reprocessed from the beginning again.
In range results:
Urea: 2.9~8.2 mmol/L
Creatinine:
- Females: 35~80 umol/L
- Males: 44~97 umol/L
Phosphate: 0.81~1.45 mmol/L
Bicarbonate:
- Arterial: 21~28 mmol/L
- Venous: 22~29 mmol/L
Albumin: 34~48 g/L
ALP: 44~147 U/L
Calcium: 2.03~2.54 mmol/L
