BONE PROFILE – ADVANCED
A bone profile blood test assesses bone health by measuring levels of key minerals, proteins, and enzymes in the blood, providing insights into bone turnover, mineral balance, and overall skeletal health.Here’s a more detailed explanation:What a Bone Profile Measures:-
-
Calcium:Essential for bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction.
-
Phosphate:Works with calcium to maintain bone health and is crucial for energy production and cell function.
-
-
Alkaline Phosphatase (ALP):An enzyme produced by osteoblasts during bone formation; elevated levels can indicate increased bone turnover or bone growth.
-
Albumin:A protein created in the liver, low levels are associated with lower bone density.
-
Other markers:Depending on the specific test, a bone profile may also include markers like osteocalcin (a protein produced by osteoblasts during bone formation).
Why Bone Profile Tests are Important:-
Diagnosis:Bone profile tests can help diagnose and monitor conditions like osteoporosis, Paget’s disease of the bone, and other bone disorders.
-
Monitoring Bone Health:They can track bone turnover and mineral balance, helping healthcare professionals assess the overall health of the skeleton.
-
Evaluating Metabolic Processes:The test helps determine how well the body’s metabolic processes are affecting the skeleton.
-
Assessing Bone Density:A bone density scan (DEXA scan) is often used alongside a bone profile to assess bone strength and density.
When a Bone Profile Test Might Be Recommended:-
Osteoporosis Risk Factors:Individuals with a family history of osteoporosis, those who have experienced fractures, or those who are at risk due to age or other factors may be recommended for a bone profile.
-
Suspected Bone Disorders:If someone has symptoms or signs of bone problems, such as pain, fractures, or changes in bone density, a bone profile might be ordered.
-
Monitoring Treatment:Bone profile tests can be used to monitor the effectiveness of treatments for bone disorders.
-
Other Conditions:Bone profile tests can also be used to assess conditions that affect bone health, such as kidney problems, liver disease, or hormone imbalances.

COLLAGEN DISEASE ANTIBODIES PANEL
The essential features of autoimmune diseases is that tissue injury is caused by immunologic reaction of the organism against its own tissues. These abnormal responses are usually triggered by bacterial or viral infections, smoking or endogenous abnormalities in the immune system. This autoimmune process can be antibody mediated or cell mediated and manifests in a large number of pathologic conditions.

HLA-B27 FLOW CYTOMETRY
About this packageHuman Leukocyte antigen B27 (HLA- B27) belongs to a group of cell surface glycoproteins which are expressed on most nucleated human cells and platelets. It is a major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I molecule. The presence of HLA – B27 is strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis and some inflammatory disorders like Reiter’s syndrome, inflammatory bowel syndrome, etc. The binding ability of specific monoclonal antibodies to the antigenic determinants expressed by leucocytes on the surface forms the basis of this test. HLA-B 27 test is generally advised in patients suffering from joint pain where the diagnosis of ankylosing spondylitis is suspected. A positive test result indicates higher chances of developing this disease. Avail of the service by booking the HLA-B27 test online at an affordable rate, at your doorstep.
Benefit Contact Us Get Additional Discount On Hla-b27 Get Additional Discount HLA-B27 is a protein found on white blood cells that helps the immune system identify harmful substances. It’s also the name of a blood test that checks for the presence of this protein.
What is HLA-B27 associated with?-
- Ankylosing spondylitis: An autoimmune disease that affects the spine. Most people with ankylosing spondylitis have the HLA-B27 gene, but many people with the gene never develop the disease.
- Reactive arthritis: An autoimmune disease that affects the joints. 60–85% of patients with reactive arthritis are HLA-B27 positive.
- Ankylosing spondylitis: An autoimmune disease that affects the spine. Most people with ankylosing spondylitis have the HLA-B27 gene, but many people with the gene never develop the disease.
- Juvenile arthritis: An autoimmune disease that occurs in children.
How is the test performed?
- The HLA-B27 test is a blood draw that’s usually taken from the arm.
- A healthcare provider in a doctor’s office or a clinical lab administers the test.
- The blood is collected in a tube and sent to a lab for analysis.
HLA-B27 prevalence- The prevalence of HLA-B27 varies between populations.
- In the UK, HLA-B27 is present in 90–95% of patients with ankylosing spondylitis.
- In the general population, 8 in every 100 people have the HLA-B27 gene variant.

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS PANEL
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology marked by a symmetric, peripheral polyarthritis. Serum antibodies to Cyclic citrullinated peptides (Anti CCP) are now recognised to be a valuable marker of diagnostic and prognostic significance. ANA’s occur both in systemic and organ specific autoimmune diseases showing positivity in Rheumatoid arthritis.There is incremental value in testing for presence of both Rheumatoid factor (RF) and Anti CCP as some patients with RA are positive for RF but negative for Anti CCP and vice versa.

RHEUMATOID FACTOR (RA), SERUM
About this packageRheumatoid Factor (RF) is an immunoglobulin M protein, produced by the body’s immune system. This protein attacks the body’s tissues as it mistakenly identifies them as a foreign entity. The rheumatoid factor test determines the level of rheumatoid factor in your blood to diagnose rheumatoid arthritis. Higher RF concentrations are often linked to autoimmune disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis and Sjogren’s syndrome. Other conditions that may elevate RF concentration in the blood include hepatitis, viral or bacterial infections, and endocarditis. There is also a gradual rise in RF levels with age. Book a Rheumatoid Factor test from Thyrocare to avail of the service at your doorsteps at a low cost.

What is RF?-
- RF is a protein made by the immune system.
- RF is an autoantibody that attacks healthy tissue instead of germs.
- RF is a protein made by the immune system.
- RF levels can be measured with a blood test called the RF test.
What does RF indicate?- High levels of RF are linked to autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis.
- RF levels can also be raised by certain infections, like viral hepatitis B and C, and some types of cancer.
- RF testing is often used with other tests to help diagnose rheumatoid arthritis.
What are symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis?
- Pain, swelling, stiffness, and tenderness in more than one joint
- Stiffness, especially in the morning or after sitting for long periods

TUMOR NECROSIS FACTOR (TNF) ALPHA; TNF-a
Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-alpha is expressed primarily by activated monocytes as part of the innate immune response to various microbes, gram-negative bacteria in particular. It’s function is to recruit other leukocytes to the site of infection and to stimulate their activation. TNF-alpha also has some systemic effects, including induction of fever through action on the hypothalamus. In cases of severe gram-negative bacterial infection, Septic shock can occur characterized by hypotension, disseminated intravascular coagulation, tachycardia & increased respiration and can be fatal. Dysregulation of TNF-alpha expression is thought to be a critical pathogenic mechanism in numerous autoimmune diseases, including Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and Ankylosing spondylitis (AS). TNF-alpha is used for the evaluation of patients with suspected systemic infection, particularly caused by gram-negative bacteria & for the evaluation of patients with suspected chronic inflammatory disorders.
