Bone Metabolism

Bone metabolism ELISA test kits are a type of enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay test that offers results in approximately three and a half hours. The quick testing time allows physicians to determine whether a patient requires further testing to pinpoint the underlying medical issue. Intact PTH ELISA test kits utilize the levels of parathyroid hormone in serum to determine whether a disorder related to bone metabolism exists. Labs that use Intact PTH kits from Diagnostic Automation/Cortez Diagnostics, Inc., are able to assist medical providers with the process of diagnosing patients to ensure that prompt treatment options are offered.

Parathyroid hormone plays a role in the natural metabolism of the bones. This hormone is needed for the remodeling of bones in the body and increased levels of PTH indicate that calcium levels in the blood serum are low. Bone resorption occurs when calcium levels are low to ensure that the body is able to receive needed minerals. Medical providers have the opportunity to determine key factors related to the metabolism in the bones of their patients when ordering an ELISA test. Valuable information determined by the results of this test can be used for diagnostic purposes or to ensure that in-depth testing is completed based on the results of the intact PTH test kit.
