Osteocalcin, N-MID

Laboratory: Quest Diagnostics
Test code: 16322
Specimen: Serum
Fasting: Not stated
LOINC: 2697-1
Turnaround: Set up: Sun, Tues, Thurs

Laboratory assay overview

Osteocalcin, the most abundant non-collagen protein in bone matrix, is a bone-specific, calcium binding protein. Serum osteocalcin levels are related to the rate of bone turnover in various disorders of bone metabolism, e.g., osteoporosis, primary and secondary hyperparathyroidism, and Paget's disease.

Osteocalcin, Serum

Laboratory: Labcorp
Test code: 010249
Specimen: Serum
Fasting: Not stated
LOINC: 2697-1
Turnaround: 2 - 4 days

Laboratory assay overview

This test is used to evaluate bone disease. Increased levels of osteocalcin are found in bone diseases characterized by increased bone turnover. Osteocalcin has been found to be elevated in Paget disease of the bone, cancer accompanied by bone metastases, primary hyperparathyroidism and renal osteodystrophy. Osteocalcin levels may serve as useful index in evaluating the therapeutic management of the patient.

We compile every detail above directly from named laboratory directories and published clinical studies. Laboratories calculate standard reference intervals from the statistical distribution of tested populations for a specific assay method and demographic group, rather than setting universal optimal targets.
