The 9 tests in this panel

What each one measures and the range labs usually print for adults. Ranges differ a little between labs, so the range on your own report is the one your result is judged against.

  • Calcium, Total

    Total calcium is the amount of calcium in your blood. It supports your nerves, muscles, heart and bones, and it is on most routine panels.

    18–59
    8.7–10.2 mg/dL
    Men, 60+
    8.6–10.2 mg/dL
    Women, 60+
    8.7–10.3 mg/dL

  • Phosphorus (Phosphate)

    Phosphorus is a mineral that builds bones and powers cells. Its blood level mostly reflects your kidneys, parathyroid glands, vitamin D and diet.

    18+
    2.5–4.5 mg/dL

  • Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP)

    An enzyme made mostly in your liver, bile ducts and bones. Its blood level gives clues about those tissues.

    Men, 19+
    40–129 U/L
    Women, 17+
    35–104 U/L

  • Albumin

    The main protein in blood plasma. Made by the liver, it keeps fluid inside your blood vessels and carries many substances.

    Adults
    3.5–5 g/dL

  • Parathyroid Hormone (PTH), Intact

    A hormone from four small glands in your neck that keeps your blood calcium steady. It is read together with calcium and vitamin D.

    18+
    18–59 pg/mL

  • Vitamin D (25-Hydroxy)

    The main form of vitamin D circulating in your blood, and the standard way to check your vitamin D status.

    Adults
    30–100 ng/mL

  • Magnesium

    Magnesium is a mineral your muscles, nerves and heart need. A blood test shows only a small part of your body's total supply.

    18+
    1.7–2.3 mg/dL

  • CTX (C-Telopeptide of Type I Collagen), Serum

    A blood marker of how fast old bone is being broken down. It is mostly used to follow osteoporosis treatment, not to screen healthy people.

    Men, 18–29
    238–1,019 pg/mL
    Men, 30–39
    225–936 pg/mL
    Men, 40–49
    182–801 pg/mL
    Men, 50–59
    161–737 pg/mL

  • P1NP (Procollagen Type 1 N-Terminal Propeptide)

    A blood marker of how fast new bone is being built. It is mostly used to follow bone treatment, not to screen healthy people.

    Men, 18+
    22–105 ng/mL
