=== Bone turnover markers ===
When [[Bone mineral density|bone mineral density (BMD)]] measurements do not provide a clear answer, [[bone turnover]] markers can be used in selected cases to assess the [[fracture]] risk. The combined use of [[Bone mineral density|BMD]] measurements and [[bone]] markers is likely to improve the assessment. [[Bone]] turnover markers are not routinely employed in diagnosing [[osteoporosis]]. [[Bone]] markers have two different types:

Overview

There is a limited role for laboratory tests in the diagnosis of osteoporosis; however, they may be used for differentiating primary versus secondary causes of the disease. Laboratory tests for the diagnosis of osteoporosis include some baseline tests like complete blood count (CBC), serum calcium, phosphate, alkaline phosphatase, and 25-(OH)-vitamin D. There are tests for diagnosing secondary osteoporosis, which include but not limited to 24 hr serum calcium, serum protein electrophoresis, and serum thyroid hormones.
