That depends - usually a TSH (thyroid) and vitamin D are checked. Others can be checked if special circumstances make them likely.
Dual-energy Xray Absorptiometry is used to measure bone density to detect Osteoporosis.
Idiopathic osteoporosis is a type of osteoporosis that occurs with no known cause. It is very uncommon. It is seen in children and adults under 50 years old who are healthy, have regular amounts of calcium, vitamin D, and hormones, and have no reason to lose bone density. Like other forms of osteoporosis, idiopathic osteoporosis is characterized by weak bones that lose bone mass.

Osteoporosis affects the Skeletal System. But the Skeletal System relies, in part, on the Digestive System and what is eaten along with the Endrocrine System which controls how the body regulates and uses minerals, hormones, etc.
If you are concerned that you may have or be at risk for osteoporosis, the best place to get information is from your doctor. He or she can do a bone density test to see if you have it, and give you ways to protect yourself from it.
The EPT pregnancy test works by testing the level of hormones in the urine. The level of hormones will go up whenever the body is with child.
Answer... There are cancers that secrete hormones that can affect bone metabolism, just like normal hormones. There are also some treatments that can have an effect on hormones such as supressing male hormones [in males] to combat prostate cancer. The cancers that secrete hormones that would effect bone metabolism are pretty rare, however... The best thing would be for your practitioner to refer you to an endocrinologist who can order appropriate blood tests to determine the cause of your osteoporosis... And who can manage the condition. Hope things work out well for you!
no, because a human hormones are different from an actual human hormones
Addison's disease is a condition in which the adrenal glands do not produce enough hormones. Researchers are beginning to suspect that low levels of cortisol, a hormone produced by the adrenal glands, may help to cause osteoporosis.
Some do, sure. All Olympic tests and many sports tests test for hormones, both natural (loading) and artificial (doping).
