Understanding Healthy Bone Profile
What is Healthy Bone Profile?
Healthy bones and joints are crucial to our mobility and extended youthfulness. A bone profile study helps keep a check on the health of our bones and joints. Healthy Bones Profile tests for important vitamins and minerals required for healthy bones, which if found deficient, can be treated with medications. It also tests for uric acid levels, which may lead to bone problems if not controlled.
Medications and vitamin supplements can help to ease out the conditions related to bones.

Uric Acid
A Uric Acid test determines the level of uric acid in your body. Uric acid is a nitrogenous compound produced by the metabolic breakdown of purine. Purines are present as nitrogenous bases in the DNA and are also found in food like red meat and seafood.
Most uric acid dissolves in the blood and goes into your kidneys. From there, it passes through your body via the urine. Decreased elimination of uric acid is often a result of impaired kidney function due to kidney disease. In many cases, the exact cause of excess uric acid is unknown. Doctors seldom need to test for low levels of uric acid.
