Postmenop aldronate weekly 2 yrs and osteoporosis getting worse only in hips. why would doctor prescripe 24 hr urine test and blood work?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Secondary causes: Hi. Your doc is being thorough, knowing that there are many causes of bone loss other than just postmenopausal osteoporosis. She/he is looking for conditions that may have specific treatments that could help prevent further bone loss. I would do the same thing. And practice fall-prevention if at all possible. The hip fracture is the granddaddy of bad fractures. Good luck!
