Frequently Asked Questions
What is the purpose of the PathoFit Bones Health Package?
It helps evaluate bone strength, calcium balance, and vitamin D status to detect early signs of osteoporosis or metabolic bone disorders.
Is fasting required before this test?
No, fasting is not required. A light meal 2–3 hours before the sample is acceptable.
Why are both blood and urine samples needed?
Blood tests measure current calcium and vitamin D status, while urine tests help assess calcium loss and kidney handling.
Can supplements affect test results?
Yes, recent intake of calcium or vitamin D supplements may cause inaccurate results.
How long will it take to get the results?
Typically, reports are ready within 12–24 hours.
What does a low vitamin D result indicate?
It usually indicates insufficient sunlight exposure or poor dietary intake.
What is the normal range of calcium in serum?
Generally between 8.5 to 10.5 mg/dL, but it may vary slightly between labs.
Can children take this test?
Yes, especially if there are signs of rickets or bone deformities.
Is it useful for postmenopausal women?
Absolutely, since estrogen decline increases risk of bone loss and fractures.
How often should this test be done?
Annually for adults at risk or as advised by a physician.
Does this test detect osteoporosis directly?
No, it helps identify the biochemical causes. A DEXA scan confirms bone density loss.
Can dehydration affect calcium levels?
Yes, dehydration can falsely increase serum calcium.
What does a high ALP level mean?
It can indicate active bone remodeling or liver-related issues.
What is iPTH and why is it included?
Intact Parathyroid Hormone regulates calcium and phosphate balance; abnormal levels suggest parathyroid gland dysfunction.
Can lifestyle changes improve bone health after this test?
Yes, balanced diet, sunlight exposure, and exercise significantly help maintain bone strength.
