Bone Health

The Calcium Blood Test measures calcium, a mineral vital for strong bones, healthy teeth, nerve signals, and muscle function. Low or high calcium levels may be linked to bone weakness, kidney problems, hormone imbalances, or certain medications.

The Creatine Kinase (CK) Blood Test measures an enzyme found in muscles, the brain, and the heart. High CK levels can signal muscle injury, intense exercise, or conditions affecting the heart and nervous system, while normal levels support healthy muscle and energy function.

The Growth Hormone (GH) Blood Test measures a hormone that controls growth, muscle mass, and how your body uses fat and sugar. Abnormal levels can affect muscle strength, energy, and metabolism in adults.

The Lactate Dehydrogenase (LDH) Test measures an enzyme found in many tissues, including the heart, liver, muscles, and blood cells. High LDH levels may be linked to tissue damage, liver or muscle disease, or certain cancers, while normal levels usually indicate healthy cell function.

Assess molybdenum status with our specialised Molybdenum Blood Test. This important analysis measures molybdenum levels to evaluate this essential trace element's role in detoxification enzyme function, sulphur metabolism, and overall metabolic health.

Detect muscle damage with our Myoglobin Blood Test. This important analysis measures myoglobin levels to identify acute muscle injury, assess rhabdomyolysis risk, evaluate heart muscle damage, and monitor muscle breakdown in various medical conditions.

The Phosphate Blood Test measures phosphate, an essential mineral and electrolyte that supports strong bones, energy production, and muscle and nerve function. Abnormal levels may suggest problems with kidneys, hormones, or nutrition.

The Potassium Blood Test measures potassium, a mineral and electrolyte that helps control muscle movement, nerve signals, and heart rhythm. Abnormal levels may suggest kidney problems, hormone imbalances, or issues with diet and medications.

The Red Blood Cell Magnesium Blood Test measures magnesium stored inside red blood cells, giving a more accurate picture of long-term magnesium status than a standard blood test. Magnesium is vital for energy, muscle function, heart rhythm, and nerve health. Low levels may cause cramps, fatigue, or heart problems.

This test is only available at Healius collection centres.

Concerned about workplace exposure or bone health? The Strontium Blood Test measures strontium levels in the body. While small amounts may come from diet or supplements, high levels usually come from industrial exposure. This test may help check for overexposure or monitor whether strontium is affecting your bones or overall health.
