Osteocalcin numbers and Bone turnover in Osteoporosis
Does anyone have any information on Osteocalcin numbers and what they mean? And do you want them to be low or high? Im so confused with what I am reading.
Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Bones, Joints & Muscles group.
@readhead1226, Here is some information I found that hopefully explain what the numbers mean.
"Doctors use the osteocalcin test to monitor bone-associated disorders and diseases or check how well bone-building therapy is working. Don’t take biotin for at least 12 hours before the test." — Osteocalcin Test: Low & High Levels & How to Improve: https://labs.selfdecode.com/blog/osteocalcin-test/
I know test results can be a little disconcerting if you read through all of the technical medical descriptions. It would be a great question to discuss with your doctor who ordered the test. Have you had the test and are trying to understand the results?
Yes I had the tests and wont meet with my doctor until next month when I do my new DEXA scan. I just finished 12 months of evenity and hoping for some improvement.
