What is the Bone Health blood test?
A private Bone Health blood test can help you understand key markers related to your skeletal system's strength and function. This test is suitable for anyone looking to proactively assess their bone health, whether you have concerns or simply wish to check in on your well-being.
This specialised panel measures markers associated with bone strength, including calcium, phosphate, and vitamin D levels, as well as parathyroid hormone. While these markers provide valuable insights, it's important to remember that a blood test measures specific substances; it does not diagnose or detect any condition on its own. A healthcare professional will interpret these results in the context of your overall health.
Your small blood sample will be taken at our clinic in Dartford, Kent, and sent to a UKAS-accredited laboratory for analysis. Your results will be reviewed by a clinician and available in your secure online MyScanHub portal within 2–5 working days. You can book this bone health test directly online without needing a GP referral, with a simple one-off payment.
