Bone Check Up Package in Kurnool

Bone health screening is a process of evaluating a person's risk of developing bone-related conditions. Disorders affecting your bones can range from bone fractures (breaks) to crippling arthritis. Bone diseases can cause bone and joint abnormalities, increase your risk of fractures, and cause chronic pain and disability. The development of bone disease is influenced by genetics, age, hormones, occupation, activity levels, lifestyle, and environmental factors. Osteoporosis, a disorder that makes the bones hollow and brittle, is one of the most prevalent diseases that can arise from decreased bone density. People with osteoporosis are more prone to fractures as they have weaker bones. 

At Medicover Hospital, we offer bone health screening, where we check the condition of your bones through blood tests and imaging tests to measure bone health. The bone checkup package typically includes RA factor, serum phosphorus, CRP (C-reactive proteins), serum uric acid, X-ray chest PA view, and serum calcium. Bone health screening is recommended for postmenopausal women and men over 70, individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those who have had fractures, and those who are taking medications known to affect bone density. The screening may also be recommended for those who have low body weight or a history of eating disorders or who have medical conditions such as hyperthyroidism or kidney disease that can affect bone health.

The results of a bone health screening can determine risk factors for developing bone-related conditions and allow healthcare providers to develop a plan to prevent bone loss and promote bone health.
