Bone markers are blood and urine tests that detect bone loss.

Primary osteoporosis is associated with the normal loss of estrogen following the menopause as well as age. 

However, there are a number of medical conditions and medications that can cause more rapid bone loss — the most common conditions are hyperparathyroidism, hyperthyroidism, vitamin D deficiency and celiac disease, and the most common medications are steroids.
