Patient's question:
The results of today's trace element test are out, and everything is normal. However, the doctor suggested I get my baby's bone density checked. Only by checking bone density can we determine if there is a calcium deficiency. Simply looking at trace elements cannot reveal whether there is a calcium deficiency. Is that correct?Doctor's answer:
The trace element checked is the calcium content in the blood, while bone density refers to the calcium content in the bones. If the blood calcium levels are normal, there shouldn't be a major issue. However, it's still necessary to refer to the doctor's advice and make a judgment based on the current situation. Personally, I recommend conducting a thorough examination if necessary, following the doctor's guidance. I hope you consider that a side bone density test can detect the specific calcium content in the baby. The above advice is in response to the question "Can trace elements and bone density tests detect calcium deficiency?" I hope it helps you. Wishing you good health!
