Bone screen blood test examines the proteins, minerals, and enzymes in your bones to give insights into their health and growth. It can help assess your risk of bone-related conditions. Since bones naturally deteriorate with age, monitoring their condition is essential for overall well-being.
Why Get a Bone Screen Blood Test?
This test is frequently performed to:
- Assess the overall condition of your bones, especially as you get older.
- Detect signs of conditions like Paget’s disease, osteoporosis, or bone cancer.
- Follow your doctor’s recommendation for further evaluation.
How to Prepare for Your Bone Screen Blood Test
- Take lots of water 24 hours before your test to make the blood withdrawal easier.
- Choose loose-fitting clothing that enables easy access to arms and hands.
- If you take anticoagulants, it’s best to wait until after your appointment. If absolutely necessary, you may take them beforehand.
- If you’re nervous about needles, let our GP know so they’ll help you stay calm and ensure a smooth, comfortable experience.
