Description
The Comprehensive Orthopedics Panel is a thorough set of tests designed to assess overall bone and joint health. It typically includes blood tests for calcium, phosphorus, vitamin D, and parathyroid hormone to evaluate bone metabolism. Markers of inflammation like C-reactive protein and erythrocyte sedimentation rate are often included to detect inflammatory joint conditions. The panel may also test for rheumatoid factor and other autoantibodies associated with autoimmune joint diseases. Additionally, it might include tests for uric acid (relevant for gout) and specific bone turnover markers. This comprehensive approach aids in diagnosing and monitoring a wide range of orthopedic conditions, from osteoporosis to various forms of arthritis.
