- Osteoporosis cannot be diagnosed with blood tests, however, blood and urine tests can be used to identify if you have another medical condition that is causing bone loss.
- Some of these tests include: Blood calcium levels, thyroid function tests, parathyroid hormone levels, testosterone levels in men,25-hydroxy vitamin D
- Also tests of the blood and/or urine may help to estimate how fast you’re losing or making bone, which are important when you are on treatment.
