Simple health checks in my control

I didn't know that private blood tests were an option. Tried this platform as the packages suited what I wanted for a good price. Easy to follow instructions, and super quick results. Platform provides more information than my gp's ever have on the tests and what the results meant. Would like more clinics to be able to test at (specifically Capital Pathology) but there is a decent network. Will continue to use.

Calcium Blood Test

Overview

Think of phosphate as your body's construction worker and energy manager rolled into one—it's the essential mineral that builds strong bones and teeth while also powering your cells like tiny batteries. The Phosphate test measures how much of this crucial mineral is circulating in your blood, giving you a snapshot of whether your body has the right amount to keep your bones sturdy and your energy systems running smoothly.

When your phosphate levels are off-balance, it can signal problems with your kidneys (which help regulate phosphate), your bones (which store most of your body's phosphate), or your parathyroid glands (which control mineral balance). Low levels might leave you feeling weak and could indicate bone softening conditions, while high levels often point to kidney issues or overactive parathyroid glands. This test is particularly helpful if you're experiencing unexplained fatigue, muscle weakness, bone pain, or if you have kidney disease, since it helps your healthcare provider understand whether mineral imbalances might be contributing to your symptoms and guide the right treatment approach.

Symptoms

Essential for individuals with bone disease, kidney dysfunction, mineral imbalances, or anyone needing comprehensive phosphate and bone health assessment.

Questions

  • Phosphate is an essential mineral crucial for bone formation, energy storage (ATP), cellular function, and maintaining acid-base balance in the body.
  • Symptoms may include bone pain, muscle weakness, fatigue, fractures, and in severe cases, breathing difficulties or heart problems.
  • Causes include kidney disease, parathyroid disorders, vitamin D deficiency, certain medications, and conditions affecting bone metabolism.
  • Treatment depends on the cause and may include dietary changes, vitamin D supplementation, medications, or treatment of underlying conditions.
  • Phosphate is found in dairy products, meat, fish, nuts, legumes, and many processed foods with phosphate additives.

How to prepare

No special preparation required. Inform healthcare provider of vitamin D supplements, calcium supplements, and any factors that might affect phosphate levels or interpretation.

After the test

Address phosphate imbalances through dietary modifications, vitamin D supplementation, treatment of underlying bone or kidney conditions, and mineral balance optimization. Work with specialists for complex cases.

Your test results will be available in your private dashboard. If there are any urgent issues, we'll let you know so you can follow up with your health professional.

Understanding results

Results show phosphate levels compared to normal ranges. Abnormal levels may indicate bone disorders, kidney dysfunction, or mineral imbalances requiring further evaluation.
