When to see a doctor first

  • If your symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, go to an emergency department or call 112: a blood test does not replace that care.
  • If you have had a fracture after a minor knock, see a doctor.
  • If you are already on treatment or under medical follow-up, speak to your doctor before changing anything because of a result.

If you are pregnant or on treatment, speak to your doctor before booking.

What is included and what is not

Includes total alkaline phosphatase, not the bone isoenzyme. Does not include a bone density scan.

What it is for and its limits

Measures calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, intact PTH and alkaline phosphatase: the blood values involved in bone metabolism.

What it tells you and where it stops

A normal result does not rule out a disease. An abnormal result is not a diagnosis.

  • It does not measure bone density: a bone density scan does that.

Does not include a medical consultation, diagnosis, prescription or treatment.

If you need a medical assessment

  • If your symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, go to an emergency department or call 112: a blood test does not replace that care.
  • If you have had a fracture after a minor knock, see a doctor.
  • If you are already on treatment or under medical follow-up, speak to your doctor before changing anything because of a result.
