About Bone & Mineral Metabolism
Bone and mineral metabolism covers conditions that affect calcium, vitamin D, parathyroid hormone and bone strength. Vitamin D deficiency is very common in India and may cause bone pain and weakness.
Evaluation uses calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, PTH and bone density tests. Treatment may involve supplements, medicines that strengthen bone or surgery for parathyroid disease.
