WHAT IS THIS? (Osteopenia - Osteoporosis)
The limited loss of bone mass is called osteopenia and does not have serious consequences.
The increased loss, however, leads to osteoporosis, a pathological condition for the bone tissue and with serious risks for fractures, mainly of the hips, spine, and wrists.
Bones are a "living organism" that is constantly rebuilt through osteoclasts (a bone-dissolving mechanism) and osteoblasts (a bone-resynthesizing mechanism).
The two mechanisms are in balance, which can be disturbed for many reasons (menopause, genetic type, hormonal disorder, poor diet, smoking, lack of exercise, etc.) and lead to bone loss.
INDICATIONS SIGNIFICANCE
Osteoporosis is more common in menopausal women but is a disease that also occurs in men.
Factors that contribute to osteoporosis are:
The analyzes are intended to detect early the possible increased bone loss that leads to or worsens osteoporosis disease and to detect possible hormonal disorders and deficiencies of elements necessary for bone health so that the appropriate treatment can be given. We recommend that the analyzes be performed on women:
24-hour urine calcium (Ca-U-24h): Check the rate of calcium excretion, which correlates with the rate of bone loss
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and alkaline phosphatase electrophoresis: Screening for possible hyperfunction of bone synthesis (anabolic) mechanisms.
Vitamin D3-25(OH): Participates in the absorption of calcium from the bones. Latest statistics show deficiencies as high as 80% in the general population.
T3 (triiodothyronine), fT4 (free thyroxine), TSH (thyroid-stimulating hormone): Check for possible overactive thyroid that increases the rate of bone resorption.
Parathyroid hormone (PTH): Key hormone regulating calcium metabolism produced by the parathyroid glands. A necessary examination in people with thyroidectomy.
FSH (follicle-stimulating hormone) and estradiol (E2): their measurement is carried out in women approaching menopause and is a measure of women's hormonal adequacy. In cases of particularly heavy family medical history and with indications of future osteoporosis, these tests can determine the time to start hormone replacement therapy.
Albumen electrophoresis: is performed to check and rule out serious metabolic diseases, which can affect bone metabolism.
CTx (collagen type I C-terminal telopeptide), and NTx (collagen type I N-terminal telopeptide): are metabolites and elements of bone degradation. Measuring them in 2-hour urine shows whether daily bone loss is within normal levels.
Osteocalcin (BGP): by measuring it, we control the rate of bone synthesis, and is an important prognostic indicator of osteoporosis.
24-hour urine cortisol (Cort-U-24h) can reveal possible adrenal hyperfunction, which negatively affects bone health.
The measurement of substances in the 2-hour urine requires the use of a preservative, which can be obtained from our laboratory.
The results for Osteopenia - Osteoporosis are given within 3 working days.
